Ala Horde

AlaHorde

Hostile mobs grow stronger as you kill them — a global per-species kill counter raises HP, damage, speed and XP for every new spawn.

How it works

Every hostile mob (MobCategory.MONSTER — zombie, skeleton, creeper, witch, enderman, blaze, ghast, wither, ender dragon, warden, …) has its own world-wide kill counter. Every 25 player kills of a species bumps that species to the next level — every NEW spawn of that species after that point comes in stronger.

| Stat | Per-level scaling | Attribute |
|—|—|—|
| Max health | +10% over base | MAX_HEALTH |
| Attack damage | +8% over base | ATTACK_DAMAGE |
| Movement speed | +5% over base | MOVEMENT_SPEED |
| XP drop | +10% over base | via LivingExperienceDropEvent |

Cap at level 20 by default. All thresholds and multipliers are configurable in serverconfig/alahorde-server.toml or via the in-game Mods → AlaHorde → Settings UI.

Each spawned mob gets a styled [Lv.N] label above its head, color-tiered by level (gray Lv.1 → white 2-5 → yellow 6-10 → gold 11-15 → red 16-20). The label is occluded by solid blocks — no X-Ray cheating; the level only shows when the mob is in line of sight.

When a species levels up, all players within the configured radius get a chat broadcast and flame/smoke particles burst at the kill site.

Bosses (Wither, Ender Dragon, Warden) are included by default — only attribute base values are touched, so boss AI phases stay intact.

Commands

| Command | Permission | What it does |
|—|—|—|
| /alahorde info | everyone | Shows the tracked species with current level, kill count and threshold to the next level |
| /alahorde reset all | op (level 2) | Resets every species’ kill counter to zero |
| /alahorde reset <mob_id> | op (level 2) | Resets a single species (e.g. /alahorde reset minecraft:zombie) |

Configuration

The config file lives at <world>/serverconfig/alahorde-server.toml. The same options are editable from the in-game Mods → AlaHorde → Settings screen.

| Option | Default | Description |
|—|—|—|
| general.enabled | true | Master switch — when off, the mod is fully inert (no scaling, no labels, no kill counting) |
| general.killsPerLevel | 25 | Kills required per level-up |
| general.maxLevel | 20 | Level cap; kills are still counted past it |
| general.excludedMobs | [] | Entity ids opted out of the system (e.g. ["minecraft:bat"]) |
| scaling.hpMultiplierPerLevel | 0.10 | HP gain per level (0.10 = +10%) |
| scaling.dmgMultiplierPerLevel | 0.08 | Attack damage gain per level |
| scaling.speedMultiplierPerLevel | 0.05 | Movement speed gain per level |
| scaling.xpMultiplierPerLevel | 0.10 | XP drop gain per level |
| visuals.showLevelLabel | true | Show [Lv.N] above mobs |
| visuals.showLevelUpMessage | true | Broadcast a chat message on level-up |
| visuals.levelUpMessageRadius | -1 | Notify radius (blocks); -1 = entire server |
