In Minecraft Legends, players will lead a huge army of mobs to defend the Overworld from the encroaching Piglin Hordes. At the start, players are able to spawn 20 mobs and command 25 at a time, but soon they'll need far larger armies to take on the ever-growing threat.

Minecraft Legends has a wide range of mobs for players to call to their aid during gameplay, ranging from series mainstays like the Zombie, Skeleton, and Creeper to newcomers like the Mossy Golem. As such, players are able to build large and versatile armies as long as they have the resources and the requisite upgrades to maintain them.

How to Increase Mob Count (Spawned Units) in Minecraft Legends

Players wanting to increase the number of spawned mobs they can maintain at any given moment will need to upgrade the Flame of Creation. This can be accomplished by building one of two improvements at the Wellspring: "Improvement: Flames of Creation" and "Improvement: Large Flames of Creation."

The first of these increases the cap by four, while the second increases the cap by ten but is more costly to build. These stack and allow players to create huge armies of spawned units, with the smaller upgrade costing 200 Stone, 200 Prismarine, and 25 Gold and the larger upgrade costing 400 Stone, 400 Prismarine, and 100 Gold.

How to Increase Mob Count (Banner Command)

Players will also need to upgrade their banner, so they can command a greater number of units, allowing them to send huge armies crashing against the Piglin Horde. This is accomplished by building the "Improvement: Banner" at the Wellspring. This costs 100 Stone, 100 Prismarine, and 25 Gold.

Each time it is built, it increases the number of units that can be commanded by 25, meaning that building just one will allow the player to command an army of up to 40 units at a time. With some clever use of Homesteads and wandering mobs to get some extra units, players can easily field larger armies even before they've upgraded the Flames of Creation enough to spawn that amount of mobs.

With good use of the Banner and the Flame of Creation Upgrades, players are able to field massive armies that should be more than a match for the tougher Piglin Encampments. When paired with advanced banner commands, players can send the ideal units to tackle any target.

Minecraft Legends is available for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
