Mobcrafter

Turn your block creations into controllable units

Build structures, capture them, and command them like an RTS army in Minecraft.

What is MobCrafter?

MobCrafter is a Forge mod that lets you
turn block-built structures into a single controllable unit entity.

Instead of spawning mobs, you create units yourself using blocks —
then capture, summon, and command them in the world.

You can:

• Build any structure using vanilla blocks
• Capture it as unit data
• Summon it as a living entity
• Control it using commands and tools

No modeling tools. No external editors. Just building.

Unit Sharing Portal

MobCrafter includes no pre-made units by default.
Instead, units are shared through the official portal:

👉 https://mobcrafter.net/

You can:

• Download community-made unit JSON files
• Reuse or modify units for your own worlds
• Share your creations with others

Unit files are loaded from: config/mob_crafter/units/

New units can be added at runtime without restarting.
In multiplayer, server-side units are synced to all clients.

MobCrafter is under active development.
Features, balance, and performance may evolve over time.

How to Use

MobCrafter lets you turn block-built structures into RTS-like units.
No modeling tools required — just build, capture, and summon.

1. Build a Structure

Build any structure you like using normal Minecraft blocks.
The shape, size, and design are entirely up to you.

2. Place a Bone Block

Attach a Bone Block to your structure.
This block acts as the core / pivot of the unit and is required for capture.

3. Capture the Structure

Use the Capture Tool on the Bone Block.
The entire connected structure will be saved as unit data.

Capturing does not destroy the original structure.

4. Summon the Unit

Once captured, the structure can be summoned as a unit.
Consider it a living entity you can control.

Unit Control Tools

MobCrafter provides tools for commanding your units.

Commander Wand (Area Command)

• Controls multiple nearby units
• Right-click: open command menu
• Left-click: give attack direction
• Commands include: Follow, Guard, Patrol, Hold, Retreat

Units inside your command range will respond together.

Marshal Wand (Squad Control)

• Assign units into squads
• Units in the same squad move and act together
• Useful for managing formations and organization

Commander Wand = issuing orders
Marshal Wand = structuring your army

Editing & Customization (Optional)

MobCrafter works without any editing,
but offers deeper customization if you want.

In-Game Editing (GUI)

• Rename units
• Adjust behavior
• Modify basic combat values

Advanced Editing (JSON)

Each unit is stored as a JSON file.
You can edit:

• Stats (health, attack, cost, etc.)
• Behavior parameters
• Custom balancing

JSON editing is optional.
You can enjoy MobCrafter without touching any files.

Tips

• Simple shapes work best for beginners
• Large structures are supported
• Captured structures are not destroyed
• Experiment freely and creatively
