<mob> – entity type name, e.g. ZOMBIE, SKELETON, CREEPER. <level> – integer between 1 and 99. [elite] – optional flag; if present, the mob is elite (same as spawnboss). Q: Mobs aren’t changing at all. What should I check?
A: Ensure general.enabled is true, the world isn’t in world_blacklist, and the mob type is either in the whitelist or the whitelist is empty (which allows all non‑player entities).
Q: Can I disable elite drops?
A: Yes. Set elite_mobs.drops.diamonds.max, gold.max, etc., to 0 and clear the music_discs list.
Q: Does HardMob work with MythicMobs / other mob plugins?
A: Generally yes, as long as the other plugin doesn’t permanently override the entity’s custom name or the GENERIC_SCALE attribute. You can use the mob_whitelist to restrict HardMob to only certain mobs.
Q: How does the level formula work?
A: The maximum possible level grows over time:maxLevel = A - B * exp(-days / C)
where days = world.getFullTime() / 24000. The formula asymptotically approaches A (default 99). The actual level of a freshly spawned mob is then rolled randomly within [1, maxLevel] according to the configured distribution.
