/rp spawn mypack:guard puts one where you are standing. /rp entities lists them.

It is genuinely a mob#

It walks with its own AI, takes damage, drops its loot, is found by @e[tag=boss], and is seen by every other plugin on the server as the vanilla type it is.

Pick type for how you want it to behave, not how you want it to look — a zombie hunts and burns in daylight, a villager wanders and flees, an armour stand does nothing at all. The looks are replaced either way.

How the model is worn#

The model is a display entity riding the mob, with the vanilla body made invisible rather than removed, so the hitbox stays exactly where the model looks and the mob is hit where it appears to be.

A custom entity never despawns. One that vanished because a player walked away would leave its model standing there in an empty field — removing a mount ejects its passengers rather than taking them with it.

tags#

Scoreboard tags, applied at spawn. They are how everything else on your server finds these: @e[tag=boss] in a command block, a MythicMobs condition, a /kill that clears one kind of mob and not another.

This is for mobs you define#
