Random Mob Effects Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) adds a challenging twist to Minecraft’s survival mechanics by giving every hostile mob a random potion effect when they spawn. These effects are long-lasting, effectively permanent, and can vary from minor speed boosts to powerful offensive buffs. This randomness keeps every encounter fresh and forces players to adapt quickly when facing mobs making even familiar biomes feel more intense and dangerous.
Whether you’re a veteran looking to spice up your world or a server admin aiming for chaotic survival gameplay, this mod introduces an unpredictable edge to every fight.

Features:
- Random Potion Effects on Hostile Mobs
All hostile mobs receive a random potion effect when they enter the world—ranging from Speed and Strength to Invisibility or Fire Resistance. - Persistent Effects
Effects last indefinitely (until the mob dies), ensuring consistent challenge throughout your exploration and combat. - Lightweight & Compatible
Minimal performance impact and designed to work well alongside most other gameplay mods. - Heightened Difficulty
Makes the game naturally harder without altering mob spawn rates or vanilla mechanics.

Can I customize which potion effects are applied?
Depending on the mod version, configuration files may let you whitelist or blacklist certain effects.
