About Mob Control

From Modrinth

Gives you full control over spawning mobs/spawners. Add custom AI to mobs, give them better weapons, and block burning in sunlight. You decide what your mobs do and when they can spawn!

Ohayden's Mob Control

Mob Control introduces a powerful and versatile rule-base system that allows modpack designers to easily control and customize mobs through a simple human-readable config. You now have total control over your mobs! Create rules to change every aspect of your mobs. Want to give more (or reduce) XP? Add more health? Block mobs completely? Why not! It's your modpack, you decide what your mobs can do. How about adding custom AI for advanced mobs? Yes, you can set AI on any mob to provide a more custom experience in your modpack!

With Mod Control, you can upgrade mobs to have increased health, damage, and new abilities or behaviors, making encounters more intense and strategic. Overall, you have total control to tailor the survival experience!
