Frequently asked questions

Do I need to start a new world to use this mod?
No, you can add this mod to an existing survival world. The enhanced mobs will spawn naturally in newly loaded chunks, though previously explored areas won't be affected until you travel far enough away and return.
How do I stop Zombies from destroying my base?
Zombies can break and place blocks, so wooden structures are particularly vulnerable. Use obsidian, deepslate, or other blast-resistant blocks for critical areas, and consider building walls at least two blocks thick to slow their progress.
Can Skeletons still burn in daylight with this mod?
No—this mod makes Skeletons immune to sunlight, so they remain dangerous threats even during the day. You'll need to use cover, shields, or offensive strategies rather than relying on daylight to protect you.
What does it mean that Creepers can explode through walls?
Enhanced Creepers will detonate even if their target is behind a wall or obstacle, meaning traditional hiding spots won't always save you. You need to maintain distance or eliminate them before they get close.
