Dota 2 Heroes

1.5.4 - Configurable Mob Aggression and Hero Safety

Hero AI

• Added independent mob_aggro_radius common configuration values for Bloodseeker (35 blocks), Pudge (48 blocks), and Faceless Void (40 blocks).
• Added efficient periodic nearest-mob acquisition with reachability checks, stable target retention, and deterministic priority below retaliation and valid player targeting.
• Kept follow_range independent so mob aggression does not silently alter player detection or Bloodseeker's Thirst range behavior.
• Removed Pudge's uncontrolled random victim replacement in favor of the shared nearest-target policy.

Combat safety

• Added a shared server-side policy that excludes dead or non-attackable entities, creative and spectator players, allied/team entities, and every Dota 2 Heroes hero from hostile targeting.
• Extended friendly-fire protection to Bloodseeker melee, Blood Rite, and Thirst scanning; Pudge melee, cleaver arcs, Meat Hook, Rot, and Dismember; and Faceless Void melee, Time Dilation, and Chronosphere.
• Preserved existing server-owned action timelines, cooldowns, named impact ticks, progression, boss phases, and synchronized GeckoLib animations.

Configuration and compatibility

• Added a configurable Faceless Void follow_range default of 40 blocks, replacing its hard-coded runtime attribute value.
• Retained Minecraft 1.20.1, Forge 47.4.10, Java 17, and dedicated-server-safe separation between gameplay and client rendering.
• Updated the mod version to 1.5.4.
