Miscs Snowy Mobs Model FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need both ModelEngine and MythicMobs for this to work?
Yes, both plugins are required. ModelEngine handles the mob models and animations, while MythicMobs controls spawning, behavior, and abilities. The mod won't function properly without either one.
Why aren't the snowy mobs spawning in my world?
First, confirm you've placed the MythicMobs configuration files in the correct directories and ran `/mm reload`. Check that the mobs are set to spawn in your biome type—they're configured for snowy biomes by default, so they may not appear in other environments without customization.
Can I use these mobs as pets without MCPets?
The pet variants are included in the MythicMobs configurations, but MCPets provides the easiest drag-and-drop setup for tameable pet functionality. Without it, you'd need to manually configure pet mechanics through MythicMobs skills and commands.
How do I change where snowy mobs spawn?
Edit the randomspawn configuration files in `plugins/MythicMobs/randomspawns/crescent_studios/snowy_mobs` to adjust biome types, spawn rates, and locations, then run `/mm reload` to apply changes.
What if the mobs look broken or have missing textures?
Ensure the ModelEngine blueprints are in the correct folder path and run `/meg reload` followed by a server restart. If issues persist, verify that your resource pack (if using one) doesn't conflict with the mob models.
Can I customize the abilities of individual snowy mobs?
Yes, each mob's abilities are defined in the skills configuration files within `plugins/MythicMobs/skills/crescent_studios/snowy_mobs`. Edit these files to modify damage, effects, or behavior, then reload with `/mm reload`.
Do snowy mobs work in non-snowy biomes?
By default, they're configured to spawn only in snowy biomes. You can manually edit the randomspawn configurations to enable them in other biomes, but this requires modifying the MythicMobs files.
Will these mobs cause lag on my server?
Performance depends on spawn rates and mob count. Start with default settings and monitor server performance, then adjust spawn rates in the randomspawn configs if needed to balance gameplay with server load.
How do I tame a snowy mob as a pet?
If MCPets is installed, follow the pet variant setup in the guide. Otherwise, use MythicMobs commands to assign ownership—check your mob's configuration file for the specific taming mechanic or command.
Do I need to restart my server after making changes to mob configs?
Running `/mm reload` and `/meg reload` will apply most changes without a restart, but a full server restart is recommended to ensure all changes take effect properly and avoid conflicts.
