Dynamic mob abilities and player-scaling difficulty for Minecraft servers.
EnchantedMobs is a highly configurable plugin that dynamically assigns powers (abilities) to mobs.
Mobs can automatically scale with nearby players, gain unique combat mechanics, and create far more challenging and interesting encounters.
Designed for Spigot / Paper servers, EnchantedMobs integrates with popular plugins such as ItemsAdder, Oraxen, MMOItems, MythicMobs, and PlaceholderAPI.
With its event-driven ability system, server owners can design complex mob mechanics entirely through configuration. If you still this is not enough, you can even use Mythic skills as ability!
