Combat Evolution Mod Guide

A Framework for Modular Mob Combat

Combat Evolution is a library mod rather than a content pack. It gives developers a shared framework for building mob combat systems, so its effects depend on which mods use it.

The core additions are a mob stamina system and mob guard mechanics. Stamina governs how often a mob can perform combat actions, while guarding lets mobs block or reduce incoming attacks. Combat behavior can also be interrupted, so mobs can react to changing situations instead of following a fixed routine. Time-based event handling supports logic that triggers on delays or intervals.

For players, the visible feature is an execution ability: when a target is neutralized, you can perform an execution. Custom execution icons can be registered, and configuration options let you change how executions look.

On its own, the mod mainly provides these systems to other mods. Install it alongside mods that use its framework to see mob stamina, guards, and executions in play.
