Mob Dice Attributes

# Mob Dice Attributes > *Every mob. Every spawn. A fresh roll.* Mob Dice Attributes replaces Minecraft's fixed mob stats with tabletop RPG dice rolls. A zombie isn't always 20 HP — it might roll 13 or 27. A skeleton might track you from twice its normal range, or barely notice you across the room. Every encounter is different. **Balance is preserved by design.** The dice formula is constructed so the average rolled value always equals the vanilla value. Mobs aren't globally buffed or nerfed — they vary. --- ## ⚔️ Core Features ### 🎲 Dice Rolling for All Mob Attributes Eight attributes are rolled on spawn using the `xdn + b` formula: - Max Health, Movement Speed, Attack Damage, Knockback - Armor, Armor Toughness, Attack Speed, Follow Range Die type is auto-selected per mob based on its vanilla value (low-HP mobs use d6, bosses use d20). Everything is configurable per attribute. ### 🏅 Rarity Tiers Every mob spawn draws from a weighted rarity pool — like an RPG loot table, but for mobs. | Tier | Default chance | Effect | |------|---------------|--------| | Common | 60% | Baseline rolls | | Uncommon | 25% | Slightly above average | | Rare | 10% | Blue name, 2× XP, bonus loot | | Legendary | 5% | Purple name, 5× XP, 3× bonus loot, all stats boosted | Tier weights and profiles are fully customizable via datapack. ### ⭐ Elite Mobs Mobs that roll significantly above their average HP are automatically tagged as **Elite** — given a custom name and (optionally) a visible name tag. Threshold and prefix are configurable. ### 💰 Loot & XP Scaling Above-average mobs drop more. Configure the XP multiplier and bonus loot rolls globally, or set them per rarity tier profile. Rare mobs are worth hunting. ### 🪝 Spawn Hooks Map specific spawn contexts to profiles. Always give raid mobs a legendary profile. Force spawner mobs to be rare. Or leave it to the rarity draw. Your call. Valid contexts: `natural`, `spawner`, `chunk_generation`, `structure`, `breeding`, `mob_summoned`, `jockey`, `event`, `conversion`, `reinforcement`, `triggered`, `bucket`, `spawn_egg`, `command`, `patrol` --- ## 🗂️ Datapack Customization Everything is driven by datapacks under `data/mobdiceattribs/`: | Folder | Purpose | |--------|---------| | `spawn_profiles/` | Named stat bundles (name, color, XP, loot, dice overrides) | | `rarity_tiers/` | Weighted pool of profiles drawn on every spawn | | `spawn_hooks/` | Context → profile mappings | | `mob_overrides/` | Per-mob or per-tag dice overrides | | `dimension_rules/` | Enable/disable rolling or scale stats per dimension | | `difficulty_rules/` | Scale stats per world difficulty | All reloaded live with `/reload` — no restart required. --- ## 🖥️ Commands | Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `/mda reroll ` | Force-reroll matched entities (op level 2) | | `/mda inspect ` | Print current stats, HP ratio, and assigned profile | --- ## ⚙️ Configuration A full `server.toml` config controls every attribute independently: - Enable/disable per attribute - Auto dice selection or manual die type - Range factor (how swingy the rolls are) - Mob whitelist / blacklist - Distance-from-spawn health scaling (disabled by default) - Elite mob threshold, prefix, and name tag visibility --- ## 🔌 Compatibility - **Server-side only** — clients do not need the mod installed - **Jade** / **The One Probe** — custom names are visible on hover - Reloads on `/reload` — fully compatible with datapack managers --- ## 📖 Documentation | Page | Link | |------|------| | Home | [Wiki](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/home.md) | | Dice Formula | [How `xdn+b` works](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/dice-formula.md) | | Spawn Profiles | [Profile format & fields](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/spawn-profiles.md) | | Rarity Tiers | [Weighted pool setup](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/rarity-tiers.md) | | Spawn Hooks | [Context-based profiles](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/spawn-hooks.md) | | Mob Overrides | [Per-mob dice overrides](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/mob-overrides.md) | | Dimension Rules | [Scale by dimension](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/dimension-rules.md) | | Difficulty Rules | [Scale by difficulty](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/difficulty-rules.md) | | Configuration | [Full config reference](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/configuration.md) | | Commands | [/mda reroll & inspect](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes/tree/neoforge-1.21.1-main/wiki/commands.md) | --- ## 📦 Source & Issues [GitHub](https://github.com/gottsch/gottsch-minecraft-MobDiceAttributes)
