Mob Gangs

Mob Gangs

Latest roster expansion: Modern and Upcoming Mob Gangs restores the previously approved Sift and modern-Minecraft catch-up identities, including naming-rights unlocks and verified release/snapshot distinctions.

The creature crews of JetSetCraft: individual mob identities, music, dances, signature techniques, rivalries, collectible graffiti and recruitment. This is a separate wiki section directly below Street Culture. Human music-genre crews remain in Street Culture; this section covers the source mobs they encounter, recruit and compete to control.

• Vanilla Mob Gangs: approved adult names, special encounters, Junior links and flagship profiles.
• Modded Mob Gangs: existing per-entity curation for The Aether, Twilight Forest, Undergarden, Alex's Mobs, Alex's Caves and Cataclysm; AoA families; Midnight and the next provider queue.
• Gang Profile and Reference Standard: required individual music/dance/art references, quirks, abilities, challenges and unlocks for every mob.
• Gang Wars, Boombox and Mob Atlas: original master specification and approved naming lineage.

Where the existing work lives

The earlier work was split between the master wiki and repository documents. Preserve these authored identities and stable IDs rather than inventing replacement rosters:

Authority	What it contains
Curated Modded Gang Atlas	Aether 20 primary mobs + Cloud Minion; Twilight Forest 59 source records; Undergarden 17 normal/boss records + 2 special affiliates; AoA candidate families; art progression
Wave 2 exact roster	90 Alex's Mobs, 43 Alex's Caves, 39 Cataclysm records; exact IDs, gang names, anatomy, safety and graffiti briefs
Current execution/verification record	Newer Wave 2B runtime wiring and provider-present test baseline; remaining gameplay-proof gates

Read support status precisely

• Authored: name, identity or compatibility design exists. This does not prove a rendered rig, completed dance or playable challenge.
• Wired: production data/code consumes the record.
• Provider-tested: exact provider build booted, live registry reconciled and recorded tests passed.
• Gameplay-verified: exact equip/challenge/restore, persistence, multiplayer and visual behavior have their own evidence.

Wave 2B records provider-present and provider-absent verification for Alex's Mobs 1.22.9, Alex's Caves 2.0.2 and Cataclysm 3.31 on Forge 1.20.1. Individual and combined lanes passed nine GameTests and dedicated-server readiness. That is not full end-user proof for every boss, pet, dance, rig or reward. Older Wave 2A documents still say provider-present proof is pending; the later Wave 2B checkpoint supersedes that narrow status only. Aether, Twilight, Undergarden and AoA curation must not inherit Wave 2B's test badge.

Every creature deserves a memorable crew

Each mob needs an individual profile, even when several species share a family. Family membership may share musical grammar and lore; it must not erase that creature's own quirks, references, choreography, silhouette, techniques and rewards. Track missing fields openly. A soundtrack link is not a finished reactive music implementation, and an art brief is not a delivered texture.

Mob identity and rival control coexist

Gabberina's, Cumbias, Phonkistas, Hardtekkas and other approved major crews can control a mob gang. Keep its stable creature identity and progression while applying the controller's music/dance/boss interpretation. Full takeover removes that mob gang's borrowed ability from the losing rival; partial influence may still qualify for the approved surprise challenge. Hakken Horse remains the explicit Gabberina-controlled horse leader example. Recruitment, challenger unlock screens, skins and naming rights must use existing progression rules and retain unique member identity.

Compatibility and quality gates

• Keep the same provider-owned entity, UUID, tame/owner data, variants, AI, inventory and boss state. Gear/challenge control is reversible and event-bounded.
• Bosses and multipart helpers need explicit safety treatment; registry presence does not mean safe ordinary spawning. Never count body segments as separate collectible gangs.
• Record actual installed provider versions and entity IDs. Missing IDs become dormant; new safe IDs get generic records until curated. No guessed rebinding by display name.
• Music, dancing, source abilities, arena/biome materials, aquatic/flight/ground routes and tagging rewards must form a coherent encounter. Preserve normal Minecraft play outside events.
• Improve performance and startup alongside content: cached registry/reload discovery, incremental assets and change-driven synchronization. No per-frame full-atlas scans, capability loss or arbitrary roster reductions.

Next concrete work

• Migrate individual approved references into per-mob profiles; retain creator, timestamp, purpose and approval status.
• Complete Midnight's exact installed-version roster and authored identities; keep legacy and rewritten versions separate.
• Finish per-mob ability/counterplay and unlock conditions; distinguish source abilities from proposed JetSetCraft techniques.
• Deliver bespoke Mark → Throwie → Masterpiece art and anatomy-appropriate solo/skating/crew choreography.
• Attach exact-build gameplay, save/reload, multiplayer and performance evidence to each supported profile/provider.
