Mobs

This is the Matcha Flavoured version of Mobs, renamed or changed from vanilla Minecraft.

Mobs in Matcha Flavoured are the vanilla Minecraft mobs, with changes to where hostile mobs spawn, how strong they are on each difficulty, and what they drop. The pack's changes follow a few rules:

• Only the undead roam the surface. In the Overworld, common hostile mobs that aren't undead can't spawn under the open sky, and after the Ender Dragon is killed no common hostile mob can spawn under the open sky, or above sea level outside trial chambers and abbeys. See Spawning and Surface.
• Difficulty reshapes mobs. Zombies become fast strikers, husks slow tanks, and skeletons, creepers, cave spiders and silverfish lose health. See Difficulty.
• Killing is rewarded, farming isn't. Many drops are raised, and most hostile drops need a player kill. Zombies, husks, skeletons and spiders from the pack's spawners drop nothing, and the pack tries to stop hostile mobs dropping the equipment they spawn with, though a bug stops this from working reliably.
• No rotten flesh. Zombie-type mobs drop  Tattered Leather or  Sturdy Leather instead, and most undead drop  Raw Estus or  Estus Ash.
• Animals drop meat. Several animals that drop nothing in vanilla now drop  Raw Flesh.

Hostile mobs

Main articles: Spawning, Difficulty

The pack's "mundane hostile" mobs are checked once when they appear, removed if they are somewhere they aren't allowed, and otherwise modified for the difficulty.

Mob	Undead	Can spawn under the open sky (before the dragon)	Main changes
Zombie	Yes	Yes	Fast and fragile on Normal and Hard; drops tattered leather and raw estus
Husk	Yes	Yes	Spawns in every biome; slow, armored tank on Normal and Hard; drops sturdy leather and raw estus
Drowned	Yes	Yes	Drops tattered leather and raw estus; stricter surface rule after the dragon
Zombie villager	Yes	Yes	Drops tattered leather, raw estus or an obol; see Zombie#Zombie villagers
Skeleton	Yes	Yes	Half health; Punch bow on Normal and Hard; drops estus ash
Stray	Yes	Yes	As skeleton; no plain arrows
Bogged	Yes	Yes	As skeleton; drops estus ash or an obol, and mushrooms
Parched	Yes	Yes	Modified as a skeleton
Creeper	No	No	Only below Y=63; less health
Spider	No	No	High jumps and cobwebs on Normal and Hard
Cave Spider	No	No	Faster, 1 to 3 hearts
Silverfish	No	No	1 or 2 hearts
Enderman	No	No	Always drops a stable void when killed by a player; only picks up melons, pumpkins and TNT
Witch	No	No	Drops 4–8 estus ash
Slime	No	No	Surface rule only

Other hostile mobs with changes:

• Wither Skeleton: breaks blocks in fortresses; skull drop 30%.
• Blaze: drops fire charges instead of blaze rods.
• Phantom: doesn't spawn.
• Wither: can only be summoned on the Overworld surface.
• Ender Dragon: killing it makes the surface safe.

Undead

The undead (vanilla's #minecraft:undead tag) matter in the pack for two reasons: they are the only hostile mobs allowed to spawn under the open sky before the dragon is killed, and they are hurt by warding. Undead mobs wearing a copper armor piece are immune to most warding. Most undead drop  Raw Estus or  Estus Ash; blazes, which aren't undead, no longer do.

The pack also overrides the loot tables of these mobs:

0.5-alpha	Overworld mobs no longer drop equipment. Ghast tear drop rate raised. Evokers drop divine fragments. Chicken jockeys drop the Lava Chicken disc.
0.6-alpha	Only the undead spawn in the open in the Overworld; after the dragon is killed, no hostile mobs spawn above sea level or in the open.
1.10	Difficulty support: mob behavior, health and damage depend on difficulty. Husks spawn in all biomes. Creepers only spawn underground. Magma cubes drop magma blocks. Nautilus shell drop rates raised. Zombie horses made consistent with other undead.
1.12.1-alpha	Obols no longer drop from most undead mobs (bogged and zombie villagers still drop them). Camel husks drop leather. The creaking drops resin. Snowy foxes drop their own pelt.
1.12.2	Mobs from spawners drop nothing.
1.12.4	Foxes drop nothing: their rewritten loot table can't be loaded.
1.12.5	Foxes drop raw flesh and their pelt again.

Trivia

• The developer made the monsters harder "because of the crazy buffs and tools I've given the players. The monsters deserve a fighting chance."
