About this project

What does Player Mobs add?

A mod that adds hostile player mobs to the game.

You can add names to the config for more more names in game.
You can also add links to pages returning a list of names divided by a newline.
You can use pages like this whitelist.gorymoon.se to get lists of twitch subs.

When used on a server you can add the whitelist the the available names for the mobs.
The mobs can be friendly to players with the same name as them.
The mobs can drop the heads of the skin they have.

Players can drop their head when killed based on a config option.

To manually reload the list of remote names the following commmand can be used:
/playermobs reload

To manually spawn a mob there is the following command:
/playermobs spawn <name> [pos] (where pos is optional)

This is an example on how to spawn a mod with the summon command:
/summon player_mobs:player_mob ~ ~ ~ {"Username":"Gory_Moon"}
