Savage Swarm Unleashed Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I turn off horde block breaking if it's destroying my base?
Open the mod's configuration menu and locate the horde block-breaking toggle under the base defense or block interaction category. Disabling this option will prevent grouped monsters from breaking through your walls, though they'll still attack in other ways.
Why do mobs keep chasing me across the entire map?
Savage Swarm Unleashed allows hordes to pursue players across massive distances without losing interest. You can reduce this by lowering the horde chase distance setting in the configuration menu, or by disabling the persistent chase mechanic entirely.
Can I stop mobs from sensing me through walls?
Yes—the mod includes a setting for mob wall-sensing or sight-through-blocks behavior. Disabling this in the configuration menu will force monsters to lose track of you when solid blocks are between you and them.
How do I control which mobs are part of the hostile swarm?
The configuration menu has a dedicated section for selecting which creature types join horde swarms. You can toggle individual mob types on or off to customize which enemies participate in group hunts.
What does the day-count timer do?
Day-count timers gate certain horde abilities and behaviors so they only unlock after your world has existed for a set number of days. This lets you ease into the mod's difficulty rather than facing all threats immediately.
Do mobs hunt animals and other creatures, or just players?
Hostile mobs in this mod will hunt down peaceful animals, neutral mobs, and even other hostile creatures depending on your settings. You can toggle these hunting behaviors in the configuration menu if you want to protect your livestock or other mobs.
Can I make broken blocks regenerate after mobs destroy them?
Yes—the mod includes a block regrowth mechanic that slowly restores blocks broken by attacking hordes. Enable this setting in the configuration menu and adjust the regrowth speed to suit your preference.
Does this mod work with Game Stages?
Yes, Savage Swarm Unleashed has built-in Game Stages compatibility, allowing you to gate horde features and mob abilities behind progression stages for fine-tuned difficulty scaling.
How do I adjust how fast mobs move or how much damage they take?
The configuration menu includes settings for horde speed, damage resistance types (like fire resistance), fall damage protection, and other stat modifiers. Adjust these values to control how threatening the swarms are.
What happens when nearby mobs see their allies chasing a player?
Mobs in the area will join the chase when they spot an ally hunting a target, causing the swarm to grow larger. You can disable this recruitment behavior in the configuration menu if you want to limit swarm size.
