No Mob Leaders

"Equal rights for hostile mobs. By which I mean: you all die in one fall."

A zero-bloat Fabric utility to permanently revoke the union benefits, extra HP, and reinforcement privileges of Zombies and Zombified Piglins.

꙳ Syn: his gold farm was losing approximately 4 gold nuggets per hour because 5% of piglins survived the 23-block drop. he had a mental breakdown at 3 AM and forced me to compile 4 separate versions. ꙳

The Spite Manifesto

Minecraft’s "Leader Zombie" mechanic is an absolute crime against automated efficiency.

Mojang in their infinite wisdom decided that occasionally, a zombie or zombified piglin deserves extra bonus health and the ability to call backup. In practice, this means:

1. You build a perfectly calibrated fall-damage mob grinder.
2. 95% of the mobs die instantly like respectful digital peasants.
3. The remaining 5% survive because they have a "Leader Attribute Modifier", taking up valuable space in the mob cap.

I don't negotiate with hostile mobs, and I certainly don't tolerate unoptimized farms. No Mob Leaders wipes these modifiers from existence the exact millisecond an entity finalizes its spawn.

What This Actually Does

• Health Bonus Obliteration: Automatically strips minecraft:leader_zombie_bonus so every zombie and piglin spawns with standard, predictable base health.
• Reinforcement Blockade: Strips minecraft:reinforcement_caller_charge and callee_charge. Configurable, because sometimes I want more spawns.
• Dynamic Registry & Tag Support: Target individual mobs (minecraft:zombified_piglin) or entire families via tags (#minecraft:zombies).
• Hot-Reloadable: In-game /nomobleaders reload command for server admins so you never have to restart.

Supported Versions

Compiled across 4 distinct codebases to support everything from 1.21 up to 26.2.

Version Range	Status
Minecraft 1.21 – 26.2	🟢 Fully Supported
Minecraft 1.20 and below	🔴 ABSOLUTELY NOT

⚠️ A Note on Legacy Versions (1.20.x & Below)

Do NOT open an issue asking for a 1.20.1 backport. If you are still running a server on 1.20 in this day and age, that is a personal spiritual failure. I am not rewriting mixin mappings for ancient history.

If you want 1.20 support, fork the repo, do the manual labor yourself, and submit a PR so I can claim I did it.

Installation

The "I Value My Time" Method (Recommended)

1. Download the .jar matching your version from Modrinth or Releases.
2. Drop it into your mods/ folder.
3. Enjoy a functional gold farm.

The "Nerd" Method (Self-Inflicted Suffering)

If you enjoy staring at terminal logs and torturing your CPU:

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/Syntax-Free/no-mob-leaders.git

# Enter the heavy folder
cd no-mob-leaders

# Suffer through Gradle compilation
./gradlew build

Your compiled binary will be in build/libs. If Gradle throws an error, don't ask me. Ask God or submit a PR.

Configuration

File location: config/no_mob_leaders.json (auto-generated on first boot).

{
  "configVersion": 1,
  "disabledMobTypes": [
    "minecraft:zombie",
    "minecraft:zombified_piglin",
    "minecraft:husk",
    "minecraft:drowned",
    "minecraft:zombie_villager"
  ],
  "removeHealthBonus": true,
  "removeReinforcementBonus": true
}

• disabledMobTypes: Add any entity ID or #tag here. If you install a mod that adds custom zombies, slap the ID into this list.
• removeHealthBonus: true = No extra HP. Mobs die when they hit the floor.
• removeReinforcementBonus: true = Disables reinforcement summoning mechanics.
