Good to know

AI goals. runAIGoalSelector and runAITargetSelector can clear goals or remove one, which is how the starter mobs swap out their vanilla attack (runaigoalselector{goal=remove blaze_attack}). Adding new goals is not supported yet.
Disguises need LibsDisguises. Without it, disguise, undisguise and doppleganger do nothing.
glow is LodeEntities’ permanent outline toggle. MythicMobs’ timed, coloured glow is the effect:glow aura; the importer renames it for you.
freeze, time and weather keep LodeEntities’ own defaults; an imported MythicMobs line gets MythicMobs’ defaults written out.
To make a mob a statue from the start, set ai: false on the mob rather than calling setai on spawn.
