You can configure:

• A filter of types, spawn reasons and probabilities
• Entities' max health, effects, and equipment
• Templates of effects and enchantments
• Random distributions for the majority of numeric values
• Entities' following range

You can solve the following problems:

• Increase the velocity of specific entities, thus make some enemies more dangerous naturally
• Equip entities to protect them from environmental influence
• Make items droppable to award a killer

Commands
customcreatures reload - reload config from disk
customcreatures apply <handler> - apply a handler to currently living entities

Permissions

• Access to 'reload' command: customcreatures.reload (default: op)
• Access to 'apply' command: customcreatures.apply (default: op)

Configuration
Default configuration file

I assume the typical server admin config lifecycle for this plugin involves having their own custom configuration, which you keep in a dedicated part of the config file and migrate from version to version.

The first section of 500 commented lines shows the config structure you can use for your handlers. Each potential handler config option is used in the real config below, so you may check it for examples.

For example, you see "jump-strength" in the structure, where its type and mechanics are described:
Then you search its real usage
