This mod, Forked from PilzAdam's [Simple Mobs](https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=3063), adds some basic hostile and friendly mobs to the game. It includes additional mobs and rotton meat, which were originally provided in another mod called [my_mobs](https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=4082). However my_mobs cages has not been included.
Since the [original](https://github.com/PilzAdam/mobs) mod is no longer maintained and the author of my_mobs wished to continue it's development, the two have been merged.
Mobs are added using the **mobs:register_mob(name, def)** function, where `name` is the name of the mob. The entity should then be referenced as `"mob:name"`. The`def` parameter is a table with all the defining attributes of the mob. For the most part, these are the same as in `minetest.register_entity()`. Other attributes are described below:
### Mob Attributes ###
- **type** = "animal" or "monster",
- **armor** = the setting for the fleshy armor group, [TODO: change to an armor group table which will be used by `set_armor_groups`]
- **view_range** = integer indicating how far away the mob can see a player,
- **walk_velocity** = the velocity when the mob is walking around,
- **run_velocity** = the velocity when the mob is running,
- **water_damage** = damage per second done to the mob if it is in water,
- **lava_damage** = damage per second done to the mob if it is in lava,
- **light_damage** = damage per second done to the mob if it is in light,
- **drawtype** = "front" or "side" to orient the mob's directional heading,
- **animation** = a table with the animation ranges and speed of a model:
- **stand_start**
- **stand_end**
- **walk_start**
- **walk_end**
- **run_start**
- **run_end**
- **punch_start**
- **punch_end**
- **speed_normal**
- **speed_run**
- **sounds** = an optional table of sounds for the mob:
- **random** = a sound that is played randomly,
- **attack** = a sound that is played when the mob attacks,
- **punch** = a sound that is played when the mob is hit,
- **death_fall** = a sound that is played when a mob falls to death,
- **death_light** = a sound that is played when a mob dies in light,
- **death_lava** = a sound that is played when a mob dies in lava,
- **drops** = a list of tables indicating what the mob drops when dying:
- **name** = itemname,
- **chance** = the inverted chance to get the item,
Monsters should provide an attack method in order to inflict damage on players. The function receives two parameters, the `self` entity which is performing the attack and the `target` of the attack. The target will be a table with **player**, **pos**ition, and **dist**ance attributes. Return *true* if the attack was performed, or else *false*.
It can be as simple as using the provided **mobs:slap(self, target, damage)** function, as most of these mobs do. For example:
attack = function(self, target)
return mobs:slap(self, target.player, {fleshy=2})
end
The mob entity has a a `self.timer` which should be checked to control how often the attack will take place. This is handled automatically if you use the provided `mobs:slap` method. *However, if you wish for your mob to shoot: you will need to register the projectile via `register_arrow`, and verify/update the timing yourself as is done by the Dungeon Master mob.* There is a **mobs:shoot(name, pos, target)** method provided to launch projectiles at a target. `name` is the name of the projectile, and `pos` and `target` are the *positions* of the shooter and the target respectively.
*You don't need to provide a callback to handle mobs jumping.* However, you may. Or if you simply want to *prevent* a mob from jumping, use something like the following for your mob:
- [ ] If you drink milk from a stack of vessels, you will not recieve the empty vessel.
- [ ] When an entity is slain both the `on_punch` and `on_death` callbacks are triggered. So, if you have sounds for punch and death both will be heard. Take this into account while creating your sounds.
The cow texture was created by [rinoux](https://forum.minetest.net/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1128). It was retrieved from the [mobf](https://wiki.minetest.net/Mods/MOB_Framework) mod by [sapier](https://forum.minetest.net/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=231). The cow's dry-up sound came from there too, which reports that the graphic is under WTFPL and the [sound](http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Mudchute_Park_and_Farm) was created by [Secretlondon](http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Secretlondon).
The rabbit and rat textures were acquired from cornernote's [critters](http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3337) modpack. It's README.txt reports:
