Infused Mobs

Hostile mobs spawn with occult-infused tiers and randomized abilities — fully configurable via JSON.

---

🎮 Overview

Infused Mobs transforms vanilla hostile mobs into dynamic, unpredictable threats. Instead of every zombie or creeper behaving identically, mobs now spawn with occult tiers that grant them randomized abilities — making every encounter unique and every farm run a gamble.

Abilities are drawn from a unified pool (all trigger types mixed together). A Cinder mob might get a HURT poison ability, a TICK speed buff, or a DEATH explosion — you never know what you'll face.

Tier	Spawn Chance	Health	XP	Abilities
🟢 Cinder	40%	1.5×	1.5×	1 (any type)
🟡 Shade	20%	2×	2×	2 (any type)
🔴 Doom	10%	4×	4×	3 (any type)

~30% of hostile mobs remain vanilla — infused mobs are common but effects are weak (configurable).

⚔️ Ability Types

HURT (fire on melee hit or projectile hit, blocked by shields)

Ability	Effect	Duration
Bane	Poison I	3s
Chill	Slowness I	3s
Decay	Wither I	3s
Hellfire	Ignite	5s
Siphon	Heal 100% of damage dealt	—
Vitriol	4 durability to all armor	—
Hex	Weakness I	3s

Shield blocks negate all HURT abilities. Projectiles (arrows, fire charges, etc.) fired by infused mobs also trigger their HURT abilities on hit.

---

TICK (passive, refreshes every 1s, no particles)

Ability	Effect	Duration
Ward	Resistance I	3s
Frenzy	Strength I	3s
Wraith	Speed I	3s
Blight	Regeneration I	3s
Thorns	Reflects 15% melee damage	—

---

DEATH (trigger on kill)

Ability	Effect
Rupture	Splits into 2 Cinder-tier copies at 60% health (each gets 1 random ability — any except Rupture itself, preventing recursion)
Combust	Area damage + explosion sound at death (configurable power, default 4.0 — TNT = 4.0)

---

🎮 Commands

All commands require gamemaster-level permission (level 2 ops).

Command	Description
/infusedmobs help	List all available subcommands
/infusedmobs nametag [on|off]	Toggle tier nametags globally (persisted in config)
/infusedmobs list	List all hostile mob types that can be infused
/infusedmobs summon <tier> [entity] [abilities]	Spawn an infused mob at crosshair (defaults to zombie). Abilities are optional space-separated IDs (e.g., bane thorns)
/infusedmobs reload	Reload config/infusedmobs.json from disk at runtime
/infusedmobs world add|remove <world>	Blacklist/unblacklist a world dimension (disables the mod there)
/infusedmobs world list	Show all blacklisted worlds
/gamerule infusedmobs:enabled	Enable/disable the mod in the current world (default true)

🎮 Gamerules

The mod ships one gamerule for per-world control at launch — set it with any gamerule-modifying mod, a datapack, or in-game. It persists in the world save and survives restarts:

Gamerule	Default	When false
infusedmobs:enabled	true	Mod fully disabled in this world — vanilla mobs, no tiers/abilities/nametags, /infusedmobs summon refused

The gamerule is ANDed with the config settings: the mod is active unless the world is blacklisted or infusedmobs:enabled is false.

/gamerule infusedmobs:enabled false

Tweakable Settings

Setting	Description
showNametags	Whether tier nametags are shown on infused mobs (toggleable in-game)
spawnChance	Probability for this tier (0.0–1.0)
abilityCount	How many abilities the tier draws from the unified pool
healthMultiplier / xpMultiplier	Stat scaling per tier
hurtEffectDuration	HURT effect duration in ticks (20 = 1s)
hurtEffectAmplifier	HURT effect amplifier (0 = I, 1 = II, etc.)
tickEffectDuration	TICK effect duration in ticks
tickEffectAmplifier	TICK effect amplifier
infernoFireSeconds	Seconds of fire from Hellfire
acidArmorDamage	Durability damage per armor slot from Vitriol
combustExplosionPower	Explosion strength (TNT = 4.0)
worldBlacklist	Dimension IDs where the mod is disabled (e.g. "minecraft:overworld") — managed in-game via /infusedmobs world add|remove|list

Note: Values are validated on load — e.g. spawnChance and abilityCount must be greater than 0. An invalid config is replaced with defaults (with a warning in the log), so tier edits are preserved across upgrades but not past validation errors.

🛡️ Compatibility

Mod Loader	Minecraft	Java	Fabric API
Fabric	26.2	25+	0.155.2+

• Client-side: Required (for nametags)
• Server-side: Required (all logic runs server-side)
• No custom status effects — uses only vanilla effects
• No world gen / block / item additions — safe to add/remove mid-save

---

📦 Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 26.2
2. Install Fabric API (required)
3. Drop infusedmobs-2.7.1.jar into your mods folder
4. Launch — config generates at config/infusedmobs.json

🔧 Modpack Authors

• License: All Rights Reserved — modpack inclusion with credit is allowed (see LICENSE)
• Config-driven — no code changes needed for balance tweaks
• Gamerule-driven — the infusedmobs:enabled gamerule lets pack makers disable the mod per world at launch
• No hard dependencies beyond Fabric API
• Tested on: Fabric 0.19.3+, MC 26.2

---

🐛 Known Issues

• Split copies from Rupture are always Cinder-tier (by design), and never roll Rupture again (recursion guard)
• Nametags use Minecraft color codes (§a, §e, §c, §7) — visible in vanilla
• Old configs (pre-2.5.0) lack the required abilityCount field — they are automatically replaced with defaults on load (tier edits from before 2.5.0 are lost)

📝 Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md for full history.

v2.7.1 Highlights

• Gamerule — infusedmobs:enabled disables the mod per world (blacklist parity for modpack makers); persists in the world save and combines with the config blacklist
• Announcements removed — the first-encounter chat message and its config/gamerule toggles have been removed entirely
• Split copies roll anything except Rupture — a Rupture copy's ability can now be any ability (including Combust); only Rupture itself is excluded (it would split forever)
• Summoned mobs persist — /infusedmobs summon results survive chunk reloads and restarts exactly as chosen (no re-roll)
• Reload-proof copies — split copies keep their Cinder-tier health across chunk reloads
• Crash-proof saves — corrupted tier data degrades to vanilla instead of failing world load

v2.7.0 Highlights

• World blacklist — worldBlacklist config field disables the mod in specific dimensions; manage at runtime via /infusedmobs world add|remove|list (tab-completes dimension IDs)
• Announcement toggle — showAnnouncements config field + /infusedmobs announce [on|off] hide the first-encounter chat message while abilities still fire
• Summon respects blacklist — /infusedmobs summon refuses in blacklisted worlds
• Config backfill on upgrade — pre-2.7.0 configs upgrade automatically, preserving tier settings

v2.6.0 Highlights

• Command system — /infusedmobs with help, nametag, list, summon, and reload subcommands
• Summon improvements — crosshair spawn position, entity tab-completions, ability tab-completions, fuzzy-match validation of ability IDs
• Ability IDs aligned to display names — venom→bane, freeze→chill, inferno→hellfire, acid→vitriol, fortify→ward, fury→frenzy, gust→wraith, bloom→blight
• Simplified summon syntax — removed [pos] argument; always spawns at crosshair; no more command priority conflicts
• Nametag toggle — showNametags config field, toggleable in-game via /infusedmobs nametag
• Projectile support — projectiles fired by infused mobs now trigger their HURT abilities
• Config reload — /infusedmobs reload re-reads config at runtime
• Internal cleanup — hurt()→hurtServer(), colour mapping consolidated, cached Gson instances, 28 tests

v2.5.0 Highlights

• Unified ability pool — abilities drawn from all trigger types mixed together (Cinder 1, Shade 2, Doom 3)
• Increased spawn rates — Cinder 40%, Shade 20%, Doom 10% (configurable)
• Debuff pass — all effects are level I, 3s duration
• Config validation hardened — old/invalid configs fall back to defaults
• Internal cleanup — dead code removed, tests expanded to 26

v2.4.0 Highlights

• Tier persistence — mobs keep their tier across world reloads
• Despawn cleanup — tier tracking cleaned up when mobs despawn
• No particle clutter — TICK effects no longer show particles on mobs
• Combust sound — explosion sound instead of silent damage
• Fixed duplicated nametags and announcement names
