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 Fabric only.

⬇ Download for 1.17–1.17.1⬇ Download for 1.16.5⬇ Download for 1.16–1.16.4
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.

Random Mob Effects is a configurable mod created to make the game a little more difficult. Every hostile mob receives a random potion effect upon joining the world. There are a few potion effects disabled by default, but a blacklist is created on first load and you may change the values. The effect applied has a duration of the maximum integer value in java, which is 2147483647 ticks; around 30000 hours in-game. The particle effect can be disabled.


Configurable: ( how do I configure? )
potionEffectLevel (default = 1, min 1, max 50): The default level of the effects the mod applies, by default 1.
hideEffectParticles (default = false): When enabled, hides the particles from the mobs with an effect.
disableCreepers (default = true): Creepers can create infinite lingering potion effects which is probably not what you want. When enabled, the mod doesn't give creepers a random effect.



The default blacklist
is generated upon first load of the mod. It cycles through all potion effects within the registry. This means that modded effects are supported, just make sure to refresh the config if a new mod with an effect is added. You can disable an effect by adding an exclamation mark (!) in front of the name.
The blacklist file is located in ./config/randommobeffects/ and is called blacklist.txt.
