About this project
What does Real Mobcap add?
Real Mobcap
Simple server-side mobcap control for Minecraft (Fabric).
Patches MobCategory so the spawn engine, Carpet and the built-in command all see the same values. JSON config only.
Inspired by the idea behind Proper Mobcap Modifier (getter overrides for spawn groups), reimplemented for 26.3 with field patching and a diagnostic command (inspired by Carpet).
