What is MobCrafter?

MobCrafter is a Forge mod that lets you
turn block-built structures into a single controllable unit entity.

Instead of spawning mobs, you create units yourself using blocks —
then capture, summon, and command them in the world.

You can:

• Build any structure using vanilla blocks
• Capture it as unit data
• Summon it as a living entity
• Control it using commands and tools

No modeling tools. No external editors. Just building.

---

Unit Sharing Portal

MobCrafter includes no pre-made units by default.
Instead, units are shared through the official portal:

👉 https://mobcrafter.net/
and
https://www.patreon.com/c/omro500?vanity=user

You can:

• Download community-made unit JSON files
• Reuse or modify units for your own worlds
• Share your creations with others

Unit files are loaded from: config/mob_crafter/units/

New units can be added at runtime without restarting.
In multiplayer, server-side units are synced to all clients.

MobCrafter is under active development.
Features, balance, and performance may evolve over time.

How to Use

MobCrafter lets you turn block-built structures into RTS-like units.
No modeling tools required — just build, capture, and summon.

---

1. Build a Structure

Build any structure you like using normal Minecraft blocks.
The shape, size, and design are entirely up to you.

---

2. Place a Bone Block

Attach a Bone Block to your structure.
This block acts as the core / pivot of the unit and is required for capture.

---

3. Capture the Structure

Use the Capture Tool on the Bone Block.
The entire connected structure will be saved as unit data.

Capturing does not destroy the original structure.

---

4. Summon the Unit

Once captured, the structure can be summoned as a unit.
Consider it a living entity you can control.

---

Unit Control Tools

MobCrafter provides tools for commanding your units.

---

Commander Wand (Area Command)

• Controls multiple nearby units
• Right-click: open command menu
• Left-click: give attack direction
• Commands include: Follow, Guard, Patrol, Hold, Retreat

Units inside your command range will respond together.

---

Marshal Wand (Squad Control)

• Assign units into squads
• Units in the same squad move and act together
• Useful for managing formations and organization

Commander Wand = issuing orders
Marshal Wand = structuring your army

---

Editing & Customization (Optional)

MobCrafter works without any editing,
but offers deeper customization if you want.

In-Game Editing (GUI)

• Rename units
• Adjust behavior
• Modify basic combat values

---

Advanced Editing (JSON)

Each unit is stored as a JSON file.
You can edit:

• Stats (health, attack, cost, etc.)
• Behavior parameters
• Custom balancing

JSON editing is optional.
You can enjoy MobCrafter without touching any files.
