AlaHorde
Hostile mobs grow stronger as you kill them — a global per-species kill counter raises HP, damage, speed and XP for every new spawn.

How it works
Every hostile mob (MobCategory.MONSTER — zombie, skeleton, creeper, witch, enderman, blaze, ghast, wither, ender dragon, warden, …) has its own world-wide kill counter. Every 25 player kills of a species bumps that species to the next level — every NEW spawn of that species after that point comes in stronger.
| Stat | Per-level scaling | Attribute |
|---|---|---|
| Max health | +10% over base | MAX_HEALTH |
| Attack damage | +8% over base | ATTACK_DAMAGE |
| Movement speed | +5% over base | MOVEMENT_SPEED |
| XP drop | +10% over base | via LivingExperienceDropEvent |
Cap at level 20 by default. All thresholds and multipliers are configurable in serverconfig/alahorde-server.toml or via the in-game Mods → AlaHorde → Settings UI.
Each spawned mob gets a styled [Lv.N] label above its head, color-tiered by level (gray Lv.1 → white 2-5 → yellow 6-10 → gold 11-15 → red 16-20). The label is occluded by solid blocks — no X-Ray cheating; the level only shows when the mob is in line of sight.
When a species levels up, all players within the configured radius get a chat broadcast and flame/smoke particles burst at the kill site.
Bosses (Wither, Ender Dragon, Warden) are included by default — only attribute base values are touched, so boss AI phases stay intact.
