Basically, almost every **hostile mob** has been reworked, from small changes to huge ones. Some of them are inspired by the Bedrock edition, which is a bit different *(and often harder)* than the Java one. There are now also a few **achievements** to make the experience even funnier!<\/p>\n<p>The mod was split starting v1.11 with SIHYWTCAMD Extensions in order to be fully server-side. Do not hesitate to play with both for the full mod experience if players can have mods installed!<\/p>\n<p>Although we&#8217;ve changed almost every mob already, feel free to ask for new features or changes in the GitHub or the Discord.
