Mob Champions
Mob champions are special elite versions of regular mobs that spawn with armor, weapons, enhanced stats and effects. They can be configured to spawn at different levels, with higher-level champions being more powerful. Champion mobs can drop rare loot and unobtainable items upon defeat.
There are four different ranks of Mob Champions:
- Uncommon
- Rare
- Epic
- Legendary
Spawning
- Spawn chance weight of each mob champion rank can be configured.
- Spawning can be limited to specific spawn types (e.g., natural spawns, spawner spawns, etc.).
- By configuration default, spawner spawns are excluded to not clog mob grinders.
Relative weights determine the chance of each rank spawning. Default weights are set so there is a 69% chance for common mobs, 17.2% chance for uncommon champions, 10.3% chance for rare champions, 3.1% chance for epic champions, and 0.7% chance for legendary champions.
