Options

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

All options available when creating a mob. Most of these options go under the Options section, like so:

Dummy:
  Type: skeleton
  Options:
    MovementSpeed: 0.3
    PreventSunburn: true

Universal options

These options are universal and will work regardless of the mob type.

AlwaysShowName

Whether the name-tag is always displayed. Equivalent to the NBT-tag CustomNameVisible. Defaults to false.

Options:
  AlwaysShowName: false

Invisible

Sets the permanent invisibility effect on the mob; no need to apply invisibility potion with ~onSpawn trigger. Defaults to false.

Options:
  Invisible: true

Collidable

Whether the mob has collisions. Collisions in Minecraft are bidirectional, so this would need to be set to false on both the entity colliders to ensure that no collisions takes place but will also stop the player from pushing the mob. Defaults to true.

Options:
  Collidable: true

DigOutOfGround

Teleports the mob two blocks up if it takes SUFFOCATION damage. Defaults to false.

Options:
  DigOutOfGround: false

Despawn

Determines how the mob will despawn. This option should be turned on if you're using a lot of mob spawners or entities will overwhelm your server. Defaults to true.

Available values:

true - despawns the mob if there are no nearby players, on chunk unload.
false - similar to persistent but can be despawned.
chunk - despawns the mob when the chunk unloads.
persistent - the mob is persistent and doesn't despawn. To remove a persistent mob, you have to either use the kill command (/mm m kill <type>) or append the -p flag to the killall one (/mm m killall -p). More information on the subject can be found here.

Options:
  Despawn: true

FollowRange

The range in blocks within which a mob will target to attack or track an entity. Defaults to vanilla follow range - 32.

Defaults to 0.

Options:
  KnockbackResistance: 0.5

MaxCombatDistance

Prevents players that are a number of blocks away from damaging the mob. Setting this option to a number less than the distance of a certain mob skill or attack will ensure that the mob can damage the player and will not be as easy to exploit. Defaults to 256.
