Working Mechanism

Equipment Application

When a mob spawns:

  1. System detects Zaphkiel.equipments configuration
  2. Equips the mob with corresponding Zaphkiel items based on configuration
  3. Automatically sets equipment drop chance to 0% (prevents duplicate drops)

Drop Processing

When a mob dies:

  1. System checks Zaphkiel.drops configuration
  2. Calculates whether each item drops based on probability
  3. Generates the corresponding quantity of Zaphkiel items
  4. Adds items to the drop list

Usage Tips

Balance Recommendations

  • Equipment Strength: Mob equipment should match their level
  • Drop Probabilities: Set lower probabilities for rare items, higher for common ones
  • Quantity Ranges: Use ranges to increase drop randomness and fun

Performance Optimization

  • Avoid configuring complex equipment for large numbers of common mobs
  • Set reasonable drop probabilities to prevent excessive item generation
  • Regularly clean up unused item configurations

Frequently Asked Questions

Mob isn't equipping items? Check that item IDs are correct and ensure Zaphkiel items are properly loaded.

Dropped items are incorrect? Verify drop configuration format and ensure probability values are between 0.0-1.0.

Will equipped items drop? No, the system automatically sets equipment drop probability to 0%. Only items in the drops configuration will drop.

Does this support vanilla mobs? Yes, it supports all mob types supported by MythicMobs.
