This one goes out to everyone who remembers the stream joke about me getting sponsored by Red Bull or Monster Energy drinks.
During today's 13 hour development stream JetBrains who make the IDE (basically the programming app that I use for EliteMobs) showed up on stream and gifted me a year's subscription to the software.
I am sure Red Bull is just around the corner waiting for EliteMobs!
Quick update for EliteMobs, things were a bit quieter than usual the past &n...

As promised, it is the 1st of January 2022 and we are ready to cast the first direction vote of the year!
EliteMobs 7.3.12 is about ready to get released, and I will be working on finalizing the last few touches (and working on Primis) as this poll counts down.
Once again, three options are presented before you. Once again, you are asked to pick one, and exclude two. What will you pick?
Remember that the last vote was 1 vote away from being something else! Every vote counts....

Back in the day, one of the Patreon rewards used to be the ability to submit suggestions for polls where a direction is picked for EliteMobs.
This was discontinued mostly because polls didn't get that much interest back then, and it was replaced with dungeons which was far more interesting.
With the success of the latest poll, I figure I will once again reopen poll suggestions!
As it currently stands, the next poll will feature the following options:

Probably sooner than most expected, myself included, Custom Models through Model Engine have been added!
This means you are now able to create your own custom models or use ones you find online to spice up the looks of your custom bosses!
As always, the setup on the EliteMobs side of things is as simple as I could make it; all you have to do is set the field customModel: modelName and that will immediately apply it to your mob. The custom animations are handled by Model E...

Model Engine! This was a very competitive poll - 14 people seem to have joined Patreon just to cast their vote, which shows how much people got invested into this.
People seem to have a few questions and misconceptions, so let me clear some stuff up.
1) Do you need to buy Model Engine to use custom models?
Yes, this is out of my control. Model Engine does however have a demo version which allows you to use to up 6 models.

Now that Custom Quests are in a good place, it's time to pick the next direction for EliteMobs!
Once again I come to you with three options to pick from, which will determine the direction of the plugin.
These directions are picked based on user feedback and things that are interesting to approach but would take time to make.
Please note that the elements that don't get voted for aren't gone forever, they are just pushed back to possibly be picked back up at a later date.

These tie in with the new Santa quest which comes by default with EliteMobs as of EliteMobs 7.3.11, which you can accept if you place the Santa NPC in your world.

You may have noticed that lately I have not been on quite as much. This is almost entirely due to the lasik eye surgery I've been planning to have for a long time, and which I was hoping would have a very short recovery time.
Unfortunately my second surgery (left eye) didn't go so great, and as I result I am going to have a longer recovery period than what I was planning and hoping for.

Hello everyone!
EliteMobs 7.3.9 is now released on Spigot alongside the Invasion Minidungeon which is a pretty fun one (it was meant to be released for Halloween but we started way too late and missed the deadline - but it's still a good standalone minidungeon ;) ).

Just a quick note here; I've simultaneously been pretty sick and completely swamped with IRL work for little over a week now, which has seriously affected my ability to work on EliteMobs.
I was hoping that I would already be back up to 100% right now at least health-wise, but I am still not quite there. Unfortunately it looks like it will take a few more days before I can get my voice back and get back to normal.

It's been a while since I've held a vote for the next feature that I will be working on, but I think this would be an appropriate vote to hold.
Right now the next features I plan to work on are Custom Quests, Arenas and Better Player Info.

Transitive Blocks are a new feature of EliteMobs 7.3.8-SNAPSHOT-1 which will are about to become a staple of EliteMobs, so I figure this might be a good place to get a bit into how they work and why they were designed the way they are.
For starters, what is a transitive block?
Have you ever wished that killing a boss would reveal a secret area or open a big gate? Transitive blocks are EliteMobs' way of doing this, but they can do so much more.

Hello everyone!
Just a quick notice about something that will be happening after the next public release.
You may have noticed that there is starting to be quite a bit of additional downloadable content for EliteMobs, both free and premium, and that can be a bit hard to structure with the current folder layout.
As such, I have added the possibility to add subfolders to the main configuration folders - like creating an oasis folder inside of the custombosses folder!

For a long time it has been an ambition of mine to come up with a solid system to make global events.
By this I mean events that when they start affect the whole world they happen in, in a way that is not just announced but felt by the players, that changes the way players play for a little while.
The Dead Moon event was an attempt at this, but it was a weak one. This was due to limitations related to how EliteMobs worked years ago when I first created that event.

The developer version is now looking mostly if not fully stable (I'm already using it on production).
Now that that's behind us, I'm announcing here first that I will be streaming over the coming days until I add 100 new events to EliteMobs.
100 is a large number so I will be taking audience suggestions the whole time!
I will be experimenting with different times and formats for the streams, but you'll always be able to see when I go live if you fol...

EliteMobs version 7.3.5-SNAPSHOT-1 is now out, meaning that the rewrite is finally over!

Hello everyone,
I wanted to leave a sort of blogpost letting people know that I am still actively working on EliteMobs (usually over 12 hours a day) but am currently stuck doing a lot of rewrites.
I wanted to keep to the 1–2-week public release schedule, but it is pretty evident at this stage that this rewrite will require a decent amount of testing before it is ready for full release.
This has also moved the release schedule of EliteStructures a bit, which is unfortunate ...
