📋 Overview

BuffMobs is a comprehensive mod that intelligently buffs hostile and neutral mobs to provide a more challenging and engaging survival experience. Whether you want tougher early-game encounters or exponentially scaling late-game difficulty, BuffMobs has you covered with its flexible configuration system.

✨ Key Features

🏹 Smart Ranged Combat System

• Ranged mobs (Skeletons, Pillagers, etc.) dynamically switch to melee weapons when players get too close
• Automatic weapon generation with enchantments based on difficulty and dimension
• Weapon tier progression from stone to netherite over in-game days
• Configurable trigger distance and behavior mode (MELEE, KITE, or RANDOM per mob)

🌍 Dimension-Specific Scaling

• Configure unique multipliers for different dimensions
• Perfect for modded dimensions - make the Nether truly hellish!
• Independent scaling for health, damage, speed, armor, and more
• Up to 5 configurable dimension slots, plus optional fixed max health overrides per dimension

📅 Progressive Day Scaling

• Mobs get stronger as your world ages
• Configurable intervals (default: every 7 days)
• Optional chat notifications to track scaling progression
• Maximum scaling caps prevent infinite difficulty spikes

⚔️ Comprehensive Attribute Buffing

• Health Multiplier: Tankier mobs that survive longer
• Damage Multiplier: Hits that actually hurt
• Attack Speed: Faster, more aggressive combat
• Movement Speed: No more slow zombie walks
• Armor & Toughness: Damage reduction for elite encounters

🧪 Potion Effect System

• Apply Strength, Speed, Resistance, and Regeneration to mobs
• Infinite duration effects that refresh automatically
• Visual effect control for performance optimization
• Smart undead detection (no regeneration for zombies/skeletons)

👑 Elite Mobs

• Rare elite variants with bonus health and damage multipliers
• Fully customizable names: roguelike generated prefixes/suffixes (translatable) or translatable title prefixes
• Custom or random name colors, per-mob particle effects, and nearby player notifications
• Bonus XP and extra loot rolls on death, stacking on top of Loot & XP Scaling

🎭 Elemental Traits

• Each mob has a chance to roll one of six traits: FLAME, FROST, TOXIC, VOLTAIC, VAMPIRIC, or ARMORED
• On-hit effects: ignite, slow, poison, chain lightning, lifesteal, or permanent armor bonuses
• Passive immunities (fire, freeze, lightning, poison, wither) and per-trait particle visuals
• Fully weighted random selection with configurable chances and per-trait tuning

💀 Special Abilities

• Per-mob abilities assigned via ID mapping (modid:mob_id:ability_id)
• DEATHRATTLE: explodes, leaves a poison cloud, or summons minions on death (or random per death)
• LASTSTAND: triggers a Resistance buff once per life when HP drops below a threshold
• TELEPORT: blinks behind the attacker when damaged (safe destination checks included)
• SUMMON: periodically spawns minions while in combat, with alive-count caps

🧪 Combat Draft

• Hostile/neutral mobs drink a regeneration potion when their health gets low
• Undead variants instead receive Absorption and instant healing
• Configurable health threshold, cooldown, regen level, duration, and max uses per life
• Whitelist/blacklist filtering for full pack control

🌙 Blood Moon

• Periodic night event that boosts all mob scaling with an extra multiplier
• Optional glowing mobs and approximate spawn duplication during the event
• Doubles XP and extra loot rolls when combined with Loot & XP Scaling
• Global chat notifications and per-world cycle tracking, fully logical (never changes world time)

🧠 Adaptive Difficulty

• Difficulty adjusts dynamically based on player performance
• Player deaths increase the multiplier; buffed mob kills reduce it
• Configurable step sizes, reduction rates, and maximum bonus cap
• Layered on top of day scaling and Blood Moon multipliers

🛡️ Mob Armor

• Generated armor sets with tier progression (leather → gold → iron → diamond → netherite)
• Full-set or random-pieces mode, per-slot chances, and mixed-tier rolls
• Full enchantment support (protection, thorns, respiration, depth strider, frost walker, etc.) with unlock days and max levels
• Optional curse application (Binding, Vanishing) with configurable chance and unlock day

🎲 Mob Presets

• Assign stat presets to specific mobs via modid:mob_id:preset_name mappings
• Five configurable preset slots with per-preset health, damage, speed, attack speed, armor, and toughness
• Optional dimension scaling override so preset mobs ignore dimension multipliers
