Remnants | RPG Mobs

Every monster has a level. Some have a rank. A few have a name.

Remnants: RPG Mobs turns Minecraft's monsters into RPG enemies. The farther you travel, the deeper you dig and the longer your world lives, the stronger they get. Some rise as Veterans, Elites and Champions with traits like Vampiric, Blinking or Packleader, and once in a few thousand spawns a Remnant walks out of the dark with a name, a title and a boss bar. Every kill pays more the harder it was: experience, extra loot, Remnant Shards, and Valor when you play with RPG Attribute System.

3.0 "Blood and Valor" is a full rebuild of RPG Mob Leveling System under a new name, part of the Remnants family next to Remnant Bosses. Your 2.x configs and leveled mobs carry over.

A monster's level is the threat of the place it spawned:

• Distance: one level for every 128 blocks from world spawn. Distance counts in Overworld blocks, so the Nether is no shortcut.
• Time: one level every 4 in-game days, up to 15.
• Depth: one level every 12 blocks below Y 32, up to 8.
• Ruins: structures set a minimum. Ancient cities 40, end cities 50, bastions and mansions 30, strongholds and monuments 25, fortresses and trial chambers 20, pillager outposts 12.
• Players: with RPG Attribute System, nearby players pull mob levels a third of the way toward their own RAS level.

| Dimension | Levels | | --- | --- | | Overworld | 1 – 60 | | The Nether | 15 – 80 | | The End | 35 – 100 | | Eclipsed Realm (Remnant Bosses) | 30 – 100 | | Any other dimension | 1 – 60, configurable |

Every level adds +6% health, +3% damage, +0.15 armor, +0.3% speed and a little knockback resistance, each with a cap. A level 30 zombie has 56 health and hits for 5.7. Arrows, tridents and fireballs scale too. Tamed and passive mobs are left alone, and bosses show a level without being scaled. Type /remnants threat to see the breakdown where you stand.

Every hostile mob rolls a rank as it spawns. The chances grow with its level and double under a Hunter's Moon.

| Rank | Chance | From level | Health | Damage | Armor | Traits | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Common | | | ×1 | ×1 | | 0 | | Veteran | 6% | 1 | ×1.4 | ×1.1 | +2 | 1 | | Elite | 1.5% | 8 | ×2 | ×1.25 | +4 | 2 | | Champion | 0.3% | 15 | ×3.2 | ×1.45 | +6 | 3 | | Remnant | 0.03% | 30 | ×5 | ×1.7 | +10 | 4 |

Remnants are the rarest and deadliest of all:

• a generated name and title, like Vorgrim the Hollow, and they never despawn;
• a horn heard by everyone within 48 blocks when one appears;
• a boss bar that follows it while it is in sight;
• a server-wide message when it falls, naming who slew it.

Mobs from monster spawners roll ranks at a quarter of the rate, so a spawner room stays a spawner room.

Ranked mobs roll one to four of sixteen traits. Infernal and Frostbite never roll together, nor Swift and Juggernaut.

| Trait | From | Effect | | --- | --- | --- | | Vampiric | Veteran | Heals 30% of the damage it deals | | Frostbite | Veteran | Hits slow (Slowness II) and freeze you. It cannot be frozen | | Infernal | Veteran | Immune to fire. Hits set you on fire | | Venomous | Veteran | Hits poison you, with Poison II from Champions up | | Withering | Elite | Hits wither you | | Berserk | Veteran | Below half health: +40% damage and +25% speed | | Crushing | Veteran | Hits knock you far back and disable your shield | | Juggernaut | Elite | Immune to knockback, +50% health and +4 armor, but 10% slower | | Thornskin | Veteran | Reflects 25% of the melee damage it takes | | Warded | Elite | A shield worth 25% of its health that regrows 6 seconds after the last hit | | Regenerating | Veteran | Regains 2% of its health every second, less while fighting | | Deflecting | Veteran | Takes 60% less damage from projectiles | | Swift | Veteran | +30% movement speed | | Blinking | Elite | When hit, may teleport behind its attacker | | Packleader | Elite | At 60% health, calls two copies of itself five levels lower | | Volatile | Veteran | Explodes 1.5 seconds after it dies. Step away. It never breaks blocks |

The Warded shield shatters and regrows with a sound you will learn to dread, Blinking mobs vanish and reappear behind you, Packleaders howl for help and Volatile corpses hiss before they blow.
