How to Equip Mobs With Custom and Enchanted Gear

Why Equip Mobs

Equipping mobs lets you build mini-bosses, themed enemies, and loot piñatas. The mod lets you assign items to each equipment slot and optionally enchant them or attach attribute modifiers.

Assigning Equipment

1. Find the mob entry you want to edit.

2. Add an equipment section with slots for main hand, off hand, helmet, chestplate, leggings, and boots.

3. For each slot, specify the item. You can use any item ID the game recognizes, including modded items if the mod is loaded.

4. Optionally add enchantments to each piece. List the enchantment and its level.

5. Optionally add attribute modifiers to the item, such as extra armor or knockback resistance.

6. Set a drop chance if you want the gear to drop on death, otherwise it disappears with the mob.

Balancing Tips

Full diamond gear on every zombie quickly becomes unfun. Use a random chance so only a small fraction of spawns get gear, and reserve the best loadouts for rare variants. Test by spawning the mob and inspecting it, then killing it to confirm drops behave as expected.
