This document explains every system controlled by sporesrp-common.toml - covering Global Setting, Evolution, Mob Pools, Conversion, Adaptation, Support, Ecosystem Conversion, Mound, Tracking, Infected Biome, Evolution Points, Mound Support, Proto‑marked Mounds, Proto Skills, Proto Resurrection, and Gastgaber Builder. As well as built‑in commands, enchantments, and new mechanics added in version 1.4.0.
Important: This mod will attempt to read and modify the configuration file

The modification is performed only once during the first installation; a backup of the original file is created. If you later manually change the modified lines and wish to revert to the pre‑modification state, delete the marker filesporesrp_mound_modified.markerandsporesrp_data_modified.marker.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
eternalNightAfterPhase6 |
When evolution phase reaches 6, the world time is permanently locked to night (eternal night). |
Accumulate “evolution points” by killing/converting entities to advance through phases; all mob attributes scale accordingly.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
phaseThresholds |
Point thresholds for each phase (11 phases, 0–10) |
healthMultipliers |

Attack multiplier per phase |
speedBonuses |

phaseUpgradeCooldownSeconds |
Cooldown (in seconds) before the next phase upgrade can occur. Index 0 for phase 0→1, index 9 for phase 9→10. Each upgrade only advances one level at a time. |
Higher phases make mobs tougher, but also reward more points and challenge. The cooldown prevents rapid phase skipping.

Proto possesses five active skills, with a dynamic behaviour switch based on the number of nearby large‑pool mobs.
| Skill | Description |
|---|---|
| Skill 1 – Move Mound | Cooldown 100 ticks; moves a marked Mound to a random position 15–25 blocks away. |
| Skill 2 – Reinforce Vervas (low count) | Checks every 20 ticks; if nearby large‑pool mobs < skill2TargetCount (3), spawns Vervas within 64 blocks (cooldown 60 ticks). |
| Skill 3 – Mass Verva spawn (low count) | Cooldown 200 ticks; spawns 1–2 Vervas per location at multiple random positions (min 1, max 2). |
| Skill 4 – Delusioner spawn (high count) | When large‑pool mob count ≥ largePoolThreshold (7), Proto switches to this skill (replaces skills 2 & 3). Cooldown 200 ticks; spawns Delusioners within 16 blocks, checking for existing Delusioners in a 64‑block radius. |
| Skill 5 – Reconstructor spawn | Cooldown 300 ticks; if no boss is detected within 128 blocks, spawns 2 Reconstructors within 16 blocks. |
The threshold (
largePoolThreshold) determines whether Proto uses Verva‑focused skills or switches to Delusioners, allowing adaptive responses to local mob population.
When Proto is killed, it can trigger a powerful counter‑attack, reviving itself and rallying nearby allies.

nightmare |
1.7 | 170% bonus – extreme difficulty |

SporeSRP v1.4.0 expands the mod with powerful new mechanics – Proto Resurrection gives a last‑stand comeback, and the Gastgaber → Builder system adds a point‑collecting structure builder. Combined with the existing evolution, adaptation, support, and terrain conversion systems, plus difficulty commands and new enchantments, SporeSRP offers deep, configurable survival challenges. All values in sporesrp-common.toml remain fully customisable for pack developers.
