Troubleshooting

​
Why aren’t elites spawning?

  1. Check spawning.yml -> globalSpawnChance (default is 0.15, or 15%).
  2. If using ENVIRONMENT progression, make sure you are in a supported zone (Zone 1-4).
  3. Check mobs.yml to confirm the NPC type has a matching mob rule with enabled: true.
  4. Check server logs for YAML parsing errors on startup.

​
Why are mobs one-shotting me?

Check stats.yml -> mobDamageMultiplierPerTier. The default Tier 5 multiplier is 2.6. For vanilla Hytale without armor mods, you might want to lower it to 2.0 or less.

​
Why do some mobs have abilities and others don’t?

Abilities are gated by tier and mob type. By default, only Tier 4 and 5 elites can use abilities. Additionally, each ability has a gate that restricts it to specific mob families (e.g., Undead Summon only works on skeletons/zombies/wraiths, and Charge Leap is disabled for ranged mobs).

​
How do I remove the mod safely?

  1. Run /npc clean --confirm to remove all existing Elite entities.
  2. Stop the server.
  3. Remove the JAR file from the mods folder.
  4. Restart the server.
If you skip step 1, you may have leftover entities with broken behavior until they are naturally killed or despawn.

​
Configuration

​
Can I make elites spawn everywhere?

Yes. Set progressionStyle: NONE in spawning.yml. This randomizes tiers regardless of location using the global spawnChancePerTier weights.

​
How do I disable abilities entirely?

In abilities.yml, set isEnabled: false on each ability you want to disable. You can also disable abilities for specific tiers using the isEnabledPerTier array.

​
How do I disable the particle effects?

Particle effects come from the status effects system in effects.yml. Set isEnabled: false on the EFFECT_PROJECTILE_RESISTANCE entry to disable both the effect and its particles.

​
How do I add modded weapons to the loot pool?

Add the weapon’s item ID to the weaponCatalog list in gear.yml, and add a keyword-to-rarity mapping in weaponRarityRulesContains. Then run /elitemobs reload.

​
Can I prevent elites from spawning in specific zones?

Yes. In spawning.yml, find the environmentTierSpawns entry for that zone and set enabled: false.
