The Mob

🔧 TheMob v1.8.1 – Hotfix (Stability & UX Fixes)

This hotfix focuses on combat clarity, spawn safety and message control. No new systems were added – only targeted fixes to improve gameplay reliability and visual consistency.

🧱 What was fixed ❤️ Display Health (Nametag)

Fixed an issue where display-health did not update correctly on mob name tags

Health values now:

    update reliably in real time

    correctly reflect custom max health

    stay in sync with boss bars and internal stats

☠ Player Death Messages (Custom Mobs)

Vanilla player death messages caused by custom mobs are now fully suppressed

Added support for optional custom death messages via config

Prevents duplicated or misleading vanilla messages

Config-controlled and fully optional

📍 Mob Spawn Position Safety

Fixed an issue where mobs spawned inside blocks or partially underground

Spawn logic now:

    applies a safe Y-offset

    snaps mobs to valid ground

    ensures sufficient headroom for large entities

This prevents:

suffocation damage

falling through blocks

visual glitches on spawn

🚧 In Development (Not part of this hotfix)

🧠 Pathfinding Improvements

Larger mobs may still occasionally get stuck in complex terrain

A smarter repath & navigation system is currently under development

No regressions introduced by this hotfix

As always

thanks for using TheMob ❤️
