Mobs

This is an old version of this page. You can view the most recent version or browse the history.

MythicMobs is based all around customized entities/mobs and there are plenty of options, attributes that you can utilize. Below you find a complete list of options/attributes that can be added to your custom creations.

Most of the options below are optional, meaning you don't have to configure the entire list every time you are creating a new mob. All that really is required are the Internal_Name and the Type.

Breaking Down The Mob Configuration

Internal_Name

This string will be how your mob will be referenced internally in MythicMobs and can be any name you like. Must be a unique name and does not clash with other internal mob names, NO SPACES ALLOWED.

example_name:

Type

This field determines which entity type your creation will be based upon. A complete list of available entity types can be found on spigot javadocs.
Note: Several mob options for new entity types that Minecraft adds to the base game will not function until Mythic adds support for said entity types.

example_mob:
  Type: zombie

another_mob:
  Type: ZOMBIE

Display

Sets the display name of the mob. This option supports color codes and placeholders. The mob's name will not change or update on its own, you have to use setname mechanic to change or update it.

example_mob:
  Type: zombie
  Display: Example Mob

example_mob:
  Type: zombie
  Display: Example Mob <caster.hp> <red><&heart></red>

Health

Sets the base value of the mob's max health attribute. Mythic doesn't have any limitations on max health but Spigot, however, caps the max health at 2048. This can easily be changed in spigot's configuration file, server_root\spigot.yml. Whenever the mob is holding or wearing an item with attribute modifiers will also affect the total max health.

example_mob:
  Type: zombie
  Display: Example Mob
  Health: 30

Damage

Sets the base value of the mob's attack damage attribute. 1 damage equals to 0.5 hearts, so a mob with 6 damage will deal 3 full hearts of damage. This attribute will never affect damage done by ranged attacks, like arrows or potions. Whenever the mob is holding or wearing an item with attribute modifiers will also affect the mob's melee damage.

example_mob:
  Type: zombie
  Display: Example Mob
  Damage: 20

Armor

Sets the base value of the mob's armor attribute. Minecraft caps the max armor value to 30. Whenever the mob is holding or wearing an item with attribute modifiers will also affect the total armor.

example_mob:
  Type: zombie
  Display: Tanker
  Armor: 25

BossBar

Defines and controls the health bar of the mob. Looks like the Ender Dragon's or the Wither's health bar, but is configurable in appearance. See BossBar

example_mob:
  Type: zombie
  Armor: 25
  BossBar:
    Enabled: true
    Title: Tanker
    Range: 20
    Color: RED
    Style: NOTCHED_6
    CreateFog: true
    DarkenSky: true
    PlayMusic: true

Faction

Sets the mob's faction, which can be used for advanced Custom AI configurations or targeter filtering. Must be alphanumeric and is case-sensitive.

example_mob:
  Type: zombie
  Armor: 25
  Faction: Tank

Mount

Sets the mount of your mob, must be another MythicMob. The mob will automatically ride on the defined mount when it spawns.

Skills

Skills are an integral feature of Mythic. All mobs are able to have skills of various types that can be triggered under different circumstances with varying conditions. The Mythic skill system is quite intuitive once you get used to it, and can be used to create anything from simple mobs to incredibly complex bosses. See Skills to get started on making your own skills.
