FAQs

Does this affect all mobs or only hostiles?

Only hostile mobs receive random potion effects. Passive and neutral mobs are unaffected.

Are potion effects visible before combat?

Some effects like glowing or fire resistance show visually, but others like Strength may not be obvious until you’re under attack.

Can I customize which potion effects are applied?

Depending on the mod version, configuration files may let you whitelist or blacklist certain effects.

Is this mod compatible with mob-enhancing mods?

Yes. Since it only adds potion effects, it works well with most combat and mob overhaul mods.

Will bosses also receive random effects?

By default, any mob classified as hostile including bosses can be affected unless excluded by configuration.
