Customizing Mob Spawns, Health, and Abilities in the Config

Eldritch Mobs provides a configuration file that lets you tune the difficulty, balance specific traits, or alter how special monsters appear in your world.

Locating and Editing the Config

1. Close your game or stop the server before editing.

2. Navigate to your Minecraft game directory and open the config folder.

3. Locate the Eldritch Mobs configuration file and open it with a text editor.

Adjusting Difficulty and Visual Settings

Inside the configuration file, you can modify several core gameplay mechanics:

• Spawn Rates: Customize the spawn frequency of hardcore monster variants replacing standard zombies, spiders, skeletons, and other creatures.
• Health Levels: Adjust the bonus health values assigned to eldritch mobs (which default to tiers such as +60, +120, and +240 extra health).
• Toggle Abilities: Disable any specific monster traits you do not want in your game. For example, if you want to avoid armor durability loss from Rust or dropping gear from Snatcher, you can disable those abilities entirely.
• Visual Markers: You can turn off the visual particle or glow effect that marks special eldritch mobs if you prefer their abilities to remain a surprise until combat begins.

Save the file and restart Minecraft to apply your changes.
