Less Mobs! More Loot!

Compressed Mobs is a datapack that causes nearby mobs to combine into one while preserving their loot.

How it works
Every 10 seconds, a random mob is picked. In a 5-block radius around that mob, all other similar mobs are compressed into it. This removes those mobs from the world while leaving the picked mob compressed. Additionally, compressed mobs can compress into each other. For example, a x5 Witch and a x10 Witch will compress into a x15 Witch. On top of this, there is a random chance that a mob will spawn compressed. The default odds for this is 10% and the default value of the spawn compression is 9.

Compressable Mobs
The following mobs are compressible:

• Zombie
• Skeleton
• Creeper
• Spider
• Cave Spider
• Enderman
• Guardian
• Witch
• Wither Skeleton
• Zombified Piglin
• Blaze
• Drowned
• Husk
• Stray
• Shulker
• Zoglin

Loot
When encountering mobs, you can tell that it is compressed by the name above its head being "x##", where ## is the number of compressions it contains. If there is no name, then it is a normal mob with no compressions (x1 in a sense). When a compressed mob is killed, it will drop loot appropriate for that amount of mobs. For example, if a x20 zombie is killed, it will drop 20 times the typical amount of loot a zombie drops. Looting still affects this, so keep those Looting III swords sharp!

Effects
When a mob gets compressed enough it becomes tougher than your average mob. This starts occurring at a compression of x25, with the mob beginning to glow. Additionally, at x25 the mob can no longer despawn naturally. This may cause some lag but is made to prevent players from missing major amounts of loot.


Configs
There are two variables you can change to modify how this datapack runs, both being editable by in-game functions.

1. Spawn Compress Chance: The chance that a mob spawns compressed. Accepts values from 0-100. Default Value: 10
2. Spawn Compress Value: The value that a naturally compressed mob starts with. Accepts values from 1-100. Default Value: 9

To modify these values use the following commands where x is set to the value you want to change it to.

1. Spawn Compress Chance: /function compressed_mobs:config/set_scc {"val":x}
2. Spawn Compress Value: /function compressed_mobs:config/set_scv {"val":x}
