Royal Variations

Royal Variations - a small mod that adds enhanced royal variations of vanilla mobs with their own characteristics and unique drops. All the mobs you will periodically encounter in the world, each has its own abilities and an increased amount of xp and drops, among which there are new items, each with its own use. The mod will slightly diversify and complicate your survival without loading the game with a lot of mechanics.
Mob spawning can be configured in the config file.

Mod requires Curios API to work.

MOBS

Spoiler

Royal Zombie

Has increased characteristics. Its behavior is similar to that of a regular zombie. Always spawns with two regular zombies. Upon seeing the target of his attack, he knights all zombies around him, equipping them with a Royal Knight Helmet, an iron sword, or an iron axe, and granting them the Knight's Fortitude effect, which increases their defense; this ability has a short cooldown. The Royal Zombie's attacks inflict the Chosen Victim effect on its opponent, making it a priority target for surrounding undead, while also increasing the movement and attack speed of undead targeting the victim.

Royal Skeleton

Has increased characteristics. Its behavior is similar to that of a regular skeleton. The Royal Skeleton's bow shots have increased power, range, and knockback, and when they hit a target, they inflict a Mark that reduces attack damage, movement speed, and attack speed by 10%, and armor by 25%, as well as making the affected target a priority target for monsters in a large radius. Upon seeing an opponent, the Royal Skeleton blesses other skeletons around him, enchanting their bows with Power II; the ability has a short cooldown. When the skeleton is attacked, it jumps back, throwing a net over the opponent, which immobilizes him for a few seconds (the net can be torn by hitting it with a sword).

Royal Creeper

Has increased characteristics. Its behavior is similar to that of a regular creeper. Upon seeing a player, it can grant a Time Bomb effect to monsters near the player, causing them to detonate after 4.2 seconds (the explosion does not destroy blocks); the ability has a short cooldown. These explosions inflict Dazed effect on the player, reducing his movement speed and damage by 60%. The creeper itself detonates much more powerfully than a regular creeper, while also having the ability to walk (the speed during detonation is 40% lower), but the time it takes to explode is longer than that of a regular creeper. It can also become Charged, which increases the power of the explosion even more.

Royal Enderman

Rarely encountered than other royal mobs, it acts as a small miniboss. Its behavior is completely similar to that of a regular Enderman, but it does not lift blocks. If the player looks into the eyes of or hits a Royal Enderman, the Enderman will cast Pressing Gaze on the player, causing a brief darkness and causing all normal Endermen around the player to attack the affected player. The Royal Enderman's teleports cause a small splash around the teleport point, dealing magic damage to players and applying Heaviness of The End, slowing the target by 40% and reducing their jump height by 25%. During combat, if the Enderman's health is below 80%, he will periodically summon a Spectral Anvil above the player's head, which, after a short delay, will fall and deal magic damage over an area, applying the Heaviness of The End effect to those it hits. From the unique loot, when killing a Royal Enderman, you can get Royal Ender Pearls.
