How to Create Custom Bosses and Monsters on Your Minecraft Server (MythicMobs)

Note:

If you are tired of fighting the same old vanilla zombies and skeletons, MythicMobs is exactly what you need. It is an incredibly powerful plugin that allows you to create your own custom monsters and raid bosses using just text files! You can give mobs custom names, equip them with enchanted armor, give them magical abilities (like shooting fireballs or teleporting), and even set up custom loot drops.

1. Download the MythicMobs Plugin

Note: Make sure to match your Server Version and Platform.

Locating and downloading the MythicMobs plugin from the official Modrinth resource page

3. Select the ‘Files’ Tab

11. How to Create Your Own Custom Mob

Open the ExampleMobs.yml file (or create a brand new .yml file).

Here, you can copy the format of the example mobs to create your own! Here is a brief look at what the main configuration fields actually edit in the game:

Type: The base Minecraft vanilla entity you are altering (e.g., ZOMBIE or SKELETON).

Display: The custom name tag that will float above the monster’s head (this supports color codes, like &c for red).

Health: The maximum number of hit points the boss will have.

Damage: The base melee damage the monster deals when it physically hits a player (remember, 1 damage = half a heart).

Equipment: A list of exactly what the monster should be holding or wearing (like a custom-named Diamond Sword or an enchanted Leather Chestplate) the moment it spawns.
