πΉ What is The Mob?
The Mob is a performance-focused custom mob & boss framework for Paper / Spigot 1.21.10.
It allows server owners to create custom mobs, multi-phase bosses and intelligent spawn systems using clean YAML configuration files, no scripting, no coding, no external dependencies.
Unlike traditional mob plugins, The Mob is built around control, lifecycle safety and server performance.
π― Design Philosophy
The Mob was built to solve common problems of mob plugins:
β Uncontrolled mob spawning
β TPS drops under load
β Script-heavy configurations
β Broken reloads & leftover mobs
β AFK farming & spawn abuse
Everything in The Mob is state-driven, predictable and reload-safe.
β¨ Core Features π§± YAML-Based Custom Mobs
- Define mobs entirely via YAML
- Custom health, damage, attributes & equipment
- Clean and predictable configuration structure
- No scripting language required
π Boss System with Phases
- Multi-phase bosses based on HP percentage
- BossBar integration
- Phase messages, effects & abilities
- Minion support per phase
Boss fights are mechanical, readable and fair β not random spam.
π§ Radar & Navigation HUD
- Player-specific BossBar HUD
- Directional compass display
- Priority-based threat detection
- Helps players track bosses and encounters
β± Smart Auto-Spawn System
Designed for performance and fairness:
- Chunk-aware hot / cold zone logic
- Spawns activate only when players are nearby
- Spawn cycles pause automatically when players leave
- Hard spawn limits (no refill spawning)
Prevents:
- Endless spawning
- AFK farming
- Kill-speed exploits
When players leave, the world rests. When they return, it feels alive again.
π Player Stats GUI
- Built-in in-game stats menu
- No permissions required for basic access
- Player-friendly by default
β‘ Performance-First Architecture
theMob is designed for long-running servers:
- Event-driven logic (no global polling loops)
- Radius-limited entity scans
- No forced chunk loading
- Clean entity lifecycle handling
π§ͺ Tested Under Real Load
Tested in live server environments:
β 20+ concurrent players
β 400+ active custom mobs
β Multiple bosses at the same time
β Stable TPS on Paper 1.21.10
β /mob reload without server restart
Stable during:
- Player joins & leaves
- Boss phase transitions
- Auto-spawn hot/cold state changes
