About this project

What does Nice Mob Manager add?

📖 Description

Nice Mob Manager is a super versatile tool that lets you control pretty much everything about mobs. Built on Mojang's Dialog system, it gives you easy, menu-based access to tons of features with just one command: /function mob_manager. Tweak individual mobs or whole mob groups, add rare mobs with better loot, randomize their gear and even adjust vanilla game rules. If you've thought about it, chances are you can do it!


🔎 Content Overview (Wiki)

Want to know what every menu option does? It's all in our Wiki:

  • 🐄 Mob Settings & Rarity Mobs: size, health, damage and head drops per mob or group, plus rare mobs with better loot
  • 🛡️ Mob Equipment & Drops: randomized gear and extra drops like a chance for the Ender Dragon to drop a Dragon Egg
  • 🧑‍🌾 Villagers & Wandering Traders: custom names, meeting points, announcements and fun new trades
  • 📜 Game Rules & Miscellaneous: mob-related game rules and everything else you can tweak

🛠️ Technical Gibberish

This data pack also works as an optional resource pack for the spawn egg icons on the Locator Bar. Just put the same file into your resourcepacks folder and enable it in game.

(Not needed for the auto-converted mod versions in Single-Player.)

Custom dialogs/menus were introduced in Minecraft 1.21.6, so a backport to older versions isn't possible.

PaperMC users: set the paper.maxChatCommandInputSize property to a value between 512 and 1024 (see the PaperMC Docs) and enable allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards in your Paper config.
