Random Mob Name
A simple datapack that gives random names to most hostile mobs (zombies, skeletons, creepers, etc.) when they spawn. Every monster becomes unique. Lightweight, customizable, and multiplayer-friendly.

Random Monster Names
What does this datapack do?
When a hostile mob spawns in your world, this datapack automatically gives it a random name. The name appears floating above the mob, just like using a name tag on an animal.
That's it. Simple, lightweight, and surprisingly entertaining.
Why use it?
- No setup required – You'll never see just another zombie. You'll meet "Grumbles" or "Toebeans" instead. - No setup required – "Remember that creeper named 'Boomer' who blew up our front gate?" - No setup required – Just drop it in your datapacks folder and play.
Supported mobs
Zombies, Skeletons, Spiders, Creepers, Witches, Pillagers, Vindicators, and their variants (Husk, Stray, Drowned, etc.).
Customization
Want your own names? Open `data/monster_names/functions/name_pool.mcfunction` and edit the list. Add inside jokes, server member names, or whatever you like.
Requirements
- Minecraft Java Edition 1.19 or newer - No mods or resource packs needed
Installation
1. Download the `.zip` file 2. Place it in your world's `datapacks` folder 3. Run `/reload` or re-enter the world
