**Better Vanilla Mobs gives mobs skills and unique characteristics keeping the vanilla touch. No resourcespack, discrete changes, balanced tweaks, scaled difficulty.** ## Main features - mobs get skills and stats randomly (rng). Chances increase with world's difficulty. - depending of the rarity (rng), some mobs will be terrifying, some other, pretty much vanilla. - the datapack adjust stats to the current world's difficulty. You can change it in the options. - hard difficulty can be really challenging (easy difficulty is vanilla like level). - modify mobs fiew seconds after spawn. Lagless, tested on multiplayer. - craft a Totem of Weakness to secure your bases and your mob farms. - compatibility with many others popular mob datapacks (Mob Captains, Dungeons & Taverns...) - 300+ of configurable parameters in the ingame options menu (patreon version). ## Totem of Weakness Craft and lit the Totem of Weakness to create a safe area. Mobs in this area cannot be enhanced, making them completly vanilla. Once they have been touched by the beacon, they can no longer be enhanced. Useful for mob farm and player bases. ## Affected mob list
