Mordor Orc

Mordor Orcs are the standard type of Orc in the Mordor biome. They are the servants and soldiers of the Dark Lord Sauron. It is said that Orcs were first created by Morgoth, made out of the Elves he tortured and bred in the First Age.

Spawning
These Orcs can spawn day and night in Mordor, due to ash clouds from Mount Doom that block out the Sun, thus keeping them calm. This cloud also protects the Mordor Orcs from the debuffs they normally receive from being in sunlight.

They spawn in the areas surrounding Mordor as well, such as Ithilien, the White Mountains and Gondor, but there they will only spawn at night or underground. They are able to spawn by themselves or in large groups.

Additionally, Mordor Orcs can be found in Orc dungeons found in areas surrounding Mordor, or locked up in cells at the bottom of Wood-Elven towers.

Behavior
Mordor Orcs will attack any foes of Mordor. With Mordor Orcs, the chance of being attacked decreases the higher your alignment gets, and when your alignment reaches +50 for Mordor they will no longer target you.

When not attempting to kill something the Mordor Orcs wander randomly, although like other creatures of darkness, they prefer unlit areas. They will not burn or be damaged by sunlight, however in direct sunlight they gain slowness and weakness effects similar to all other Orcs.

When not being engaged by a good entity there is a chance that they will start attacking each other in what is known as a skirmish. This fighting can spread and wipe out entire groups of Orcs. This happens with many other Orcs as well, but is most common with the Mordor Orcs. You can disable these skirmishes with this command "/gamerule enableOrcSkirmish false". This does not immediately halt all hostilities between the orcs; the ones fighting must kill the other first.

Drops
Orcs commonly drop rotten flesh and their Orc bones, and also have a few rare drop possibilities such as Orc Steel ingots, Maggoty Bread, and Orc Draughts. As well as these, they have a moderate chance to drop some of the equipment or armor they are carrying.
