When I wrote the code for Cold Snap Horde&#8217;s version though, it wasn&#8217;t very&#8230; reusable. This api is my attempt at fixing that, capable of spawning vanilla (or modded) mobs and sending them towards the target player like the snowmen do during the horde event.<\/p>\n<p>**You can now make your own hordes via JSON magic**<br \/>\nSee the github page for more information on how to do this. It and extending off of it is frankly the recommended path.<\/p>\n<p>**If you are a mod developer and you want more control over a custom horde**<br \/>\nAlso see the github page. Each module has an example of how to instantiate hordes and get them to function correctly for a given platform (quilt being the same as fabric, for this case)<\/p>\n<p># Interested? Here&#8217;s some more!<br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re still reading this, you&#8217;re probably a developer interested in looking into the code for this event. Which is very neat! I&#8217;ll happily accept contributions that I see as helpful additions, and help out within reason to get you set up with hordes. <\/p>\n<p>Extra details about horde requirements:<\/p>\n<p>* Entities added to the horde must extend the PathfinderMob class.<br \/>\n* Bigger entities are harder to spawn due to the system attempting to avoid situations where mobs would suffocate. Try to keep larger mobs to a minimum\/to low spawn weights.<br \/>\n* The api will scan the environment around a potential spawnpoint for any solid blocks. The size of the scan depends on the size of the mob, meaning larger mobs will be more expensive on server resources.<br \/>\n* The system tries to spawn mobs at a relatively close Y level to the player (preferring locations above the player over below).<br \/>\n* If the system can not find a nearby Y level, it&#8217;ll settle for any Y level it can find.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/j3jHRkS.png\" width=\"360\" height=\"58\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px;\"><strong>Server Hosting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>I&#8217;ve partnered with BisectHosting! <\/strong>If you need a quality server, click the picture below and use code &#8220;cartoonish&#8221; for <strong>25% off<\/strong> your first month!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bisecthosting.com\/partners\/custom-banners\/b7a8373d-a873-4057-b865-1a2d5399a3bc.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"416\" height=\"278\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tool for creating Continuous Horde events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":166638,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"villainous-horde-manager","_minecraft_project_id":"pXwCfB4o","_minecraft_author":"MaritheVillain","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":6246,"_minecraft_follows":14,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"villainous-horde-manager.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":1728291,"_minecraft_version_count":31,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-17T01:03:58.103332Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2023-04-26T23:09:43.673382Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2025-08-08T02:20:10.979385Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/villainous-horde-manager","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":166638,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-09T18:29:20+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"05650515ec184681947defb04831e0a0","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,104,873,158,98],"mod_loader":[99,106,160],"minecraft_version":[54,55,56,58,36,94,62,37],"class_list":["post-166637","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-forge","mod_category-library","mod_category-neoforge","mod_category-quilt","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-forge","mod_loader-neoforge","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
