About
Nasty Mobs adds six types of smarter skeletons, each with its own special abilities, themed common and rare loot, and distinct behavior from ordinary skeletons. The skeletons can retaliate against players who attack them by tracking them down and firing arrows from farther away, and can convert nearby skeletons to their side. They can also convert normal wolves into nasty wolves, with settings to control conversion speed and range and whether wild or tamed wolves are eligible; named wolves can be protected. The mod offers configurable difficulty scaling with distance from spawn, along with controls to adjust each skeleton type’s speed or toughness by biome. Spawning can be tuned by light level, individual spawn weights, and optionally temperature preferences: purple skeletons favor cold, green skeletons temperate conditions, and red skeletons hot conditions. Four new advancements recognize players’ history with the mod.

Not checked yet
Its author does not let other sites download its files from CurseForge, so we cannot check them.
Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.
How we checked
- FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.15 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 2 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. 2 of them are not checked yet. See each file in Releases
Privacy
We have not read its code yet
What it sends is not known yet.
Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.
How we checked
- Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.None yet. See each file in Releases
AI
No sign so far that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts and code history and found none.
We have not read its files, images and sounds yet.
AI in the game: not checked yet
We have not read its code for AI yet.
Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
How we checked
- Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a substantial part of the code is AI output, when an asset is mainly AI output, or when the project or its page relies on generative AI.Not on Modrinth.
