This datapack will no longer be updated!
Description
This datapack adds rare mob variants to the game, which will randomly spawn in your world (See "How does it work?"). Rare does not necessarily mean harder to beat, just rare. The current version is v3 for Minecraft 1.17 to 1.18.2
Installation
Drop the .zip file into the datapacks folder inside your world save file. If the world is already running, enter /reload into the chat. That's it!
How does it work?
Every 30 seconds, a random mob within a distance of 40 to 64 blocks around a random player will be transformed into a rare variant. However, the majority of these mobs will despawn naturally, before they will ever be seen by a player. This is why you won't see them every 30 seconds. Instead of hard-coding all possible options, a rare creature is made by multiplicativly adding different things (armor, potion effects, offhand item, sparkly or not, ...) together. This means that for, let's say, a zombie, there are 16*10*7*2*2 = 4,480 different possible combinations.
Does it work on a multiplayer server?
It should, but the spawning rate does not increase with more people. You can adjust the amount of time until the next spawning attempt, as well as the required player distance in the function file data\ercerus\functions\rare_mobs\transform_mob.mcfunction. Please leave a comment if there are any issues.
Does it alter gameplay progression?
No, the transformed mobs do not drop anything, which would alter normal gameplay progression. Which means things like totems of undying, player heads or netherite armor can not be dropped. Leather armor, regular weapons and such however can. There is a super rare chance for a zombie to spawn with an enchanted golden apple in their offhand, which can potentially be dropped upon death. To deactivate this, set the weight of the last entry in the loot table file under data\ercerus\loot_tables\random\rare_mobs\zombie_offhand.json to 0.
Protect mobs from transforming
If you want to prevent a mob from transforming into a rare variant, stand next to them and run the following command:

Use the following command either in chat or in a repeating command block to transform the nearest mob/mobs:

If you find anything that looks like it's not working as it should, please leave a comment and I will look into it.
What types of mobs can spawn?
Most mobs can turn into an even rarer sparkeling version, which will buff their speed, attack damage and knockback resistance, as well as a few other mob specific properties.

The difference is very noticeable and affects the game. If it's important, I tested on this modpack - www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/play-as-dragon
