Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 1.20.3–1.20.4Newest
Minecraft 1.20–1.20.2

⬇ Download for 1.20.3–1.20.4 ⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Combat Expanded by Gamemode 4

Use special weapon and armor modifiers to defend against mobs that grow ever stronger!

Spore Zombies in Lush Caves

Features:

The longer you stay alive the stronger mobs will become.
Different biomes grant special buffs to mobs that spawn in them, creating bigger Slimes or Spore Zombies that keep regrowing!
Weaker Phantoms that take damage if they try to fly into water, as they deserve.
Mobs will drop new Modified armor and weapons. These come with special attributes that allow you to customize your gear!
Modifiers range from a ramping speed boost to a loyal immortal dog to fight by your side. Or a piece of armour that teleports you randomly, if that's what you like.

A full list of all modifiers to mobs, weapons and armor can be found at the Wiki.
