/buffmobs info

Prints a global summary of the mod's current configuration and state:

=== BuffMobs Info ===

Initialized mobs: 312
Health mult:      1.5
Damage mult:      1.5

This is useful for quickly confirming the mod is active and seeing how many mobs have been initialized in the current session.

/buffmobs presets

Lists all configured preset slots and the mobMapping entries:

=== Mob Presets ===
Presets enabled: yes
  1. default  | HP×1.5  DMG×1.5  SPD×1.0  ASPD×1.0  Arm+5.0  Tough+0.0
  2. boss     | HP×5.0  DMG×3.0  SPD×1.1  ASPD×1.2  Arm+15.0 Tough+8.0
Mob Mappings:
minecraft:zombie   -> default
minecraft:skeleton -> default
minecraft:wither   -> boss

Preset slots with empty names are not shown. Invalid mapping entries are flagged.

---

/buffmobs reload

Re-applies buffs to every mob currently loaded in the dimension where the command is executed. Useful after editing buffmobs.toml without restarting the server.

[BuffMobs] Re-applying buffs...
[BuffMobs] Done. 147 mobs updated.

Note: Reload only affects mobs in the current dimension at the time of execution. Mobs in other dimensions are updated when they next load or when the server restarts.

Tips

• Use /buffmobs debug immediately after spawning a mob with /summon to verify your config changes applied.
• If a mob shows "Valid mob: no" in the debug output, check your Mob Filters configuration — it may be excluded by a blacklist or filter mode.
• /buffmobs reload is safe to run on a live server — it uses try/catch per mob so a single failure won't stop the rest from being updated.
