HatterMobs v0.9.2 — Custom Mob Creator (Paper 26.3)

HatterMobs is a custom mob creator for Paper 26.3. Write a mob in a YAML file — its stats, equipment, skin, abilities and drops — and HatterMobs brings it into the world with a built-in disguise engine. No Java, no ProtocolLib, no disguise plugin.

Magic is optional. HatterMobs speaks the Magic plugin's mob format and bridges to Magic for its spells and items when Magic is installed. Don't run Magic? Your casters still fight: the built-in fallback gives spell-casting mobs normal melee or ranged attacks instead of leaving them defenceless (configurable globally, and per mob — or switch it off entirely).

What's inside:

• Mob files in Magic format — one .yml per mob: base entity, health/damage/armour, equipment, effects, names

• Player-skin disguises from a built-in packet engine (no ProtocolLib, no LibsDisguises)

• Triggers and abilities: interval casts, on-hit and on-death effects, summons

• Custom drops, loot and XP; damage protection rules; boss bars

• Brain goals — melee, ranged, fleeing, and more, applied per mob

• Natural-spawning whitelist with biome / depth / light / time rules and an area cap

• Invisible spawners, item-model body parts, and rideable mounts

• 16 working example mobs included — necromancer, dark wizard, warlock, king, goblin, scarecrow and more — installed on first run so you can see every feature working and copy the patterns

• A fully annotated sample mob file (sample-mob.yml, delivered into the plugin folder) showing EVERY configurable key — stats, attacks, triggers, drops, mounts, all of it — with working values and comments, as a palette for building your own

• Every mob is tagged (hm_) — the free MobKills plugin can count and reward custom-mob kills

Requirements:

• Paper 26.3 (this is a 26.3 build — it will not run on older versions)

• Optional: the Magic plugin, for spell-casting mobs to use their real spells. Without it, the fallback above covers them.
