Rename the mod folder to just mobs. Next time post in the topic of the mod.

Please put that report here, where it belongs: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=3063

For the sake of time I'll answer that question here; modnames can only contain certain characters, as the error message says, and also has to be the same name as certain names inside the mod's code, but GitHub messes that up by changing the folder name.

Simply rename it to just "mobs".

thanks
