## Random Monster Names<\/p>\n
### What does this datapack do?<\/p>\n
When a hostile mob spawns in your world, this datapack automatically gives it a random name. The name appears floating above the mob, just like using a name tag on an animal.<\/p>\n
That’s it. Simple, lightweight, and surprisingly entertaining.<\/p>\n
### Why use it?<\/p>\n
– **Makes exploration more fun** \u2013 You’ll never see just another zombie. You’ll meet “Grumbles” or “Toebeans” instead.
\n– **Creates memorable moments** \u2013 “Remember that creeper named ‘Boomer’ who blew up our front gate?”
\n– **No setup required** \u2013 Just drop it in your datapacks folder and play.<\/p>\n
### Supported mobs<\/p>\n
Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders, Creepers, Witches, Pillagers, Vindicators, and their variants (Husk, Stray, Drowned, etc.).<\/p>\n
### Customization<\/p>\n
Want your own names? Open `data\/monster_names\/functions\/name_pool.mcfunction` and edit the list. Add inside jokes, server member names, or whatever you like.<\/p>\n
### Requirements<\/p>\n
– Minecraft Java Edition 1.19 or newer
\n– No mods or resource packs needed<\/p>\n
### Installation<\/p>\n
1. Download the `.zip` file
\n2. Place it in your world’s `datapacks` folder
\n3. Run `\/reload` or re-enter the world<\/p>\n
