+MobScores records credit for configured entity types damaged directly by a player or by a projectile fired by a player. When a credited player remains online when the entity dies, its configured points are added to the dedicated `mob-scores` ScoreKeeper bucket. Use `/score-bucket mob-scores` to view mob points with ScoreKeeper commands. Other mob attribution is not currently handled.
 
 MobScores has no commands of its own. Players see the nonzero score table when they join.
