NOTE: ALL GIFS SHOWN ARE INDEV FOOTAGE, FINAL VERSION HAVE SOME SLIGHT DIFFERENCES!

Fabric version requires Fabric API

Forge/Neoforge requires Sinytra Connector and its dependencies

GENERAL BOSSES, MINIBOSSES AND BOSS-LIKE ENTITIES

-Announces when they have been defeated just like in Terraria. e.g. "Ender Dragon has been defeated!"

-Bosses announce when they have been summoned. e.g. "Wither has been summoned!"

-Does not work for modded bosses just yet.

-Note: If you want JUST the boss reworks, check out Boss AI Tweaks!

The Wither

-Moveset completely reworked.

-6 Phases total.

-Blue wither skulls have homing now.

-Only regenerates health upon dealing damage to anything or when it has no target.

-Enrages upon losing 25% of its health in a single attack. When enraged, attacks 2x faster and shoots 4x faster but drops 2 nether stars on defeat.

-Removed projectile immunity entirely. Only takes 50% less damage from arrows only below 50% health.

-Reworked attack visuals. Now turns blue when about to fire a blue wither skull. The original "phase 2 shield" visual effect has been repurposed into a charging animation (since this mod removes phase 2 projectile immunity)

-Phase 1: Just hovers in place, following you if you're moving too far and away if too close.

-Phase 2: Gains a slanted slam attack, spawns a pool of harming in hard difficulty, creates a creeper-sized explosion if mob griefing is enabled. Starts below 83% health.

-Phase 3: Starts strafing around the player and begins firing blue wither skulls along side the occasional slam attacks. Starts below 66% health.

-Phase 4: Starts hovering lower and closer to the player, gains a Bedrock Wither-like dash attack. Creates a trail of explosions if mob griefing is enabled. Starts below 50% health.

-Phase 5: Dashes twice. Blue wither skulls become more common. Starts below 33% health.

-Phase 6: Chains all of the attacks continuously without stopping. Starts below 17% health.

-On death: Explodes very flashily and shoots skulls everywhere before dying for good. Also creates a shower of xp amounting to a total of 1000 xp.

Elder Guardian

-Now a proper boss instead of a generic tanky enemy variant.

-Increased health to 150 (75 hearts) and defense by 8 (4 armor). Can be edited in the config.

-Has a boss health bar now but only shows up when you start fighting it.

-Laser attack reworked to be a proper laser beam. This means it is now a straight line that deals damage continuously when touched.

-It can dash now. Dashes more frequently as health gets lower. Spawns "seeking mines" below 30% health in hard difficulty (as of right now, they're just reskinned shulker bullets that deal no damage but drain your oxygen instead).

-Is now immune to explosive damage.

-Has a death animation now.

Ender Dragon

-Enrages when losing 15% of her health in a single attack (this means beds instantly enrage her!). Attacks significantly more frequently when enraged and all of her melee attacks burn targets.

-Fireball attacks have been changed to chain fire. Shoots faster the lower her health is or when enraged. To compensate, dragon fireballs have been nerfed, the harming pools they spawn last shorter now and are significantly smaller.

-Swoop attacks are now more consistent, mimicking her pre-1.9 swoop attack. (With added particle effects)

-End crystal healing reworked, no longer heals passively. End crystals now heal her in bursts. Additionally, end crystals now emit a flashing effect to indicate how close they are to finishing healing her.

-No longer perches randomly, and is now completely invincible while flying. Instead, to get her to perch, you need to destroy the current end crystal healing once in peaceful, twice in easy, thrice in normal, and four times in hard.

-After destroying the connected crystals, she perches and DPS phase begins. She now takes far less damage to her body but far more to the head. Additionally, her projectile immunity is removed.

-While perched, she spawns significantly more dragon's breath. Additionally, said dragon's breath moves now in a conic pattern away from her and as well as deal even more damage. (Unless Enhanced AI mod is installed as that mod makes area of effect clouds spherical and this becomes very unfair to dodge)

-Last but not the least, this mod fixes a crash in vanilla caused by leaving the game as soon as she shoots a fireball.

Ravagers

-Are now minibosses.

-Have a boss health bar.

-Has a charge attack similar to goats, gets stunned upon hitting a wall.

GENERAL HOSTILE MOBS

Line of Sight

-Things can now reduce mob attack ranges and are separated into two categories: debuffs and entity actions. Keep in mind that for each category, there is a "highest priority" that overrides the lower ones.

-Entities with the glowing effect can now be targeted through blocks.

Debuffs (ordered from highest to lowest priority):

-Blindess: 66% reduction, makes mobs have a harder time pathfinding, disables ranged attacking mobs.

-Darkness: 80% but it pulsates (because the effect does)

-Nausea 20% reduction, also makes ranged mobs inaccurate (the higher the level, the more inaccurate they are)

Entity actions (ordered from highest to lowest priority):

-Invisibility: 75% reduction (Do note that the moment an invisible target attacks or takes damage, the mob will immediately know where they are!)

-Crawling: 66% reduction

-Sneaking: 50% reduction

Bad Omen

-Some mobs become stronger when the player they are currently targetting has bad omen or trial omen. This stacks with changes from crazy mobs mode gamerule!

Behavior

-All melee attacking mobs are now affected by haste and mining fatigue, either increasing or decreasing their attack speeds.

-Melee attacking mobs that aren't too "heavy" will jump to reach targets that are only 2 blocks above them in an attempt to knock them off.

-All bipedal hostile mobs that aren't illagers will randomly sit down and chill. During this, they become neutral. This also serves as an optimization feature as this turns off most of their AIs. Though, they can be woken up by making some noise!

-Generic ranged attacking hostile mobs reposition after attacking. This applies to mobs like blazes and drowned.

Zombies

-Zombies now have a chance to spawn being ridden by baby zombies like in Bedrock Edition.

-Zombie leaders now spawn riding a zombie horse and wears a special banner as an indicator.

-Some zombies spawn with little slimes. These zombies are capable of both ranged and melee attacks.

-Normal adult zombies have a chance to spawn holding a door which they use as a shield.

Husk

-Can now burrow into sand, can only perform this when both the husk and their target are standing on any form of sand.

-While on a camel husk, they will circle the player while the parched behind them shoots.

-Every now and then, they will stop the camel and raise up their spears to charge the player.

Drowned

-Now loses their tridents upon throwing them. They will run or swim towards their trident in an attempt to pick it back up. If they could not pick up their trident in time, they will give up and let the last targeted player have it.

-Can now use their fishing rods to pull players toward them.

Chicken Jockey

-Has a tackle attack similarly to the Minecraft Movie.

Skeletons

-All skeletons now have baby variants. Baby skeletons are hella bad at aiming and do not strafe when shooting, they run around instead, occasionally stopping to shoot.

-All skeletons have two kinds of ranged attack AIs now. The original strafing AI and a "sniper" AI. The sniper AI will have the skeleton stand mostly still when shooting and occasionally reposition to a spot they think is "safe". It is used when the skeleton is in the surface during the day, or underground in a cave. Anytime else, they will use their regular strafing AI. This is done so that they can prioritize taking cover from the sun, or to not accidentally strafing off a cliff in a cave.

-Regular skeletons have a very rare chance to spawn riding a skeleton horse, baby skeletons spawn riding a chicken instead. If a skeleton is on a skeleton horse, they can ram attack you with it.

-Regular skeletons convert to wither skeletons if they ever die to anything wither related.

-Additionally this mod fixes a bug that prevents all skeletons from using bows added by mods, and as well as numerous bugs involving their vanilla strafing AI. (such as MC-121706)

-If multiple skeletons are too close to each other, they will take turns attacking if they have the same target to prevent insane arrow spam.

Strays

-Now has a jump attack. When they jump, they fire a more accurate shot. In hard difficulty or when they aren't holding a bow, they throw a barrage of snowballs on the way down.

-If the targeted player has bad or trial omen, the snowballs will start of slow and accelerate.

Bogged

-Can dash backwards when the target is too close and leaves behind a poisonous spore cloud. This has a very long cooldown.

-If the targeted player has bad or trial omen, they will release 2 extra mushrooms that explode into smallers pools of harming.

Parched

-Does a spin dash to rapidly change directions. Has the shortest cooldown of all skeletons.

Wither Skeletons

-Shoots a weak wither skull when farther than 6 blocks from the chased target. These skulls have a really long cooldown and are very inaccurate. Has a special attack animation when doing this!

-If the targeted player has bad or trial omen, the skulls will home!

-Additionally has a rare chance to spawn with a bow.

Skeleton Horsemen

-Now spawns all four skeleton variant per horse (as in each horse is ridden by a different skeleton type)

-No longer fights each other when they accidentally friendly fire.

Illagers

-If they ever spawn in the middle of the ocean during a raid or patrol, they now spawn riding boats.

-Now attacks zombie villagers on sight.

Pillager

-Attack range increased to 15 blocks.

-Strafes backwards when target is a bit close. Switches to a stone axe when target is too close and back to a crossbow when not.

-Attempts to break your shield when you are blocking for too long.

-Now eats food when hurt to heal, though, they eat very slowly and only when out of combat.

-Additionally, this mod fixes a bug where pillagers cannot use modded crossbows.

Evoker

-Now summons an orbiting fireball around it. Summons up to 3. When there are at least 3, they are launched the next time it is casted.

-When below 20% health, this attack is replaced by the Evoker holding out a Totem of Undying for 1 second. This of course means that they can survive the killing blow, but if you attack them while casting other spells, you can kill them like normal.

-Nerfed movement speed when running away from players (around 25%).

-Additionally, this mod fixes a bug where they don't run away from their targets.

Vex

-Nerfed charge attack, it no longer tracks, it can also miss when you move out of the way.

-Stops moving for a while shortly after charging, allowing you to hit them once for free.

-No longer charges players that are less than 4 blocks away from them.

-Takes 3x more damage from projectiles, attacks that normally do not deal any damage (like snowballs) deal 3 damage (1.5 hearts). This means a single fully drawn arrow kills them in 1 shot.

-Only a certain amount can be alive at a time per Evoker. 2 on easy, 3 on normal, 4 on hard.

Illusioner

-Arrows now spawn from clones.

-No longer moves when shooting, stands mostly still.

-Swaps places with one of its clones when hit.

-Has an escalating chance of spawning when the player attacks an animal while having bad omen.

-Drops Potions of Blinding on death.

Witches

-Now shows the potion they are about to throw.

-Throw rate halved.

-Can drink jump boost potions. Jumps before throwing potions to increase its displacement if the target is too high up.

Enderman

-Nerfed movement speed significantly. (up to 60%)

-Reworked melee attack. They now teleport to the player 3 times and performs a combo in this order:

Punch -> Backhand Slap -> Kick

Shulkers

-Can now be dyed just like in Bedrock Edition.

-Killing a dyed shulker will duplicate the dye.

-Takes increased damage from pickaxes.

-Killing a shulker with a silk touch pickaxe gives you a shulker box.

-Can be given pop chorus fruit to make them "breed" (To those who don't know, shulkers can duplicate by attacking another in vanilla, this just adds a much easier way to get it to happen)

Slimes

-Now has a chance to spawn with a dispenser inside them. Inspired by Terraria's dart trap slimes.

-Honey slimes are now a thing, they spawn if a slime spawns in a bad lands or birch forest slime chunk. They can also be forcibly spawned by putting honeycomb blocks in the slime chunk.

-Baby honey slimes can be bottled to get a bottle of honey.

Phantom

-Now neutral to players. Attacks the local wildlife instead.

-Grows 10% larger every livestock hunted, becomes aggressive to players again when big enough (around 50% their original size). Don't worry, their max health remains the same! Them becoming bigger just means they're easier to hit!

-Takes 3x more damage from projectiles, attacks that normally do not deal any damage (like snowballs) deal 3 damage (1.5 hearts). This means a single crossbow arrow kills them in 1 shot.

-If a max sized phantom was killed, insomnia is reset as if the player who killed it slept.

-Has a 1% chance to turn into an Ominous Phantomare when at least one player has bad omen. When an Ominous Phantomare is alive, no other phantoms can spawn.

-Ominous Phantomares are giant phantoms that are essentially boss-like. Their attacks consists of flying around shooting a volley of toxic spit at the player and swooping down to grab the player and drop them from above.

-They also have their own sprite, (though not the prettiest, they are meant to have a lot of emissive textures to make them easier to see in the darkness)

-When below 50% health, they gain a new attack where they carpet bomb an area with toxic spit.

Silverfish

-Now digs into the ground when hurt. This is inspired by how real silverfish would dart away and burrow or hide.

-Stops moving when calling for help, making it vulnerable to getting hit. Now emits particles to indicate how many other silverfish it has successfully called.

-Takes increased damage from shovels.

Zombie Villager

-Zombie Fletchers spawn with a crossbow and shoot you with it (though, their aim is horrible...)

-Zombie Clerics throw potions of harming at players or injured undead mobs (to heal them, duh)

-Zombie Fishermen spawn with fishing rods and will reel players toward them.

Zombie Pigman

-If a normal piglin converted while holding a crossbow, that converted piglin can now use a crossbow.

-Fixed a bug in vanilla where they can get angry at each other.

Blaze

-Fireballs are now summoned around the blaze before being shot.

-Fireballs shot are dependent on difficulty. Shoots 2 on easy, 3 on normal, 4 on hard.

Breeze

-Creates a wind charge explosion upon jumping or landing on hard difficulty.

-If the targeted player has bad or trial omen, they shoot a second wind charge on the way down.

Creeper

-Damaging them delays their explosion timer.

-Spews out arrows "attached" to it when exploding.

Ghast

-Nerfed fireball attacks. Reduced velocity by 25%, increased attack cooldown by 2 seconds.

-Now has an improved firing animation. Inflates while flashing white to indicate it is preparing a fireball, then opens its mouth and deflates to indicate it is going to shoot it.

Warden

-If their sonic boom attack were to hit a bell, they get stunned. Even if the player was in the way of the sonic boom, it will deal no damage as long as there is a bell hit by the attack.

GENERAL PASSIVE MOBS

-Mobs that normally run away from you when approached (like cats, ocelots, and rabbits) no longer do when the approaching entity is sneaking.

Allays

-Can now be armed with weapons, but only the following: bow, crossbow, mace, any tool, fire and wind charge.

-Can be commanded to attack if armed. To do this, place a skull on top of the noteblock they like.

>Creeper head: arthropods and creepers

>Piglin head: animals

>Zombie head: undead mobs

>Skeleton head: monsters

>Wither skeleton head: anything besides other allays

>Player head: players besides the person who tamed these allays

Chickens

-Now runs away from any entity bigger than them or predators. (like foxes)

-Occasionally sheds feathers.

Snow Golems

-Attack animation reworked.

-Now has 10 armor points (5 armor) when pumpkin is still attached. Loses its defense when sheared but gains massive boost to accuracy. Can be edited in the config.

-Attack speed and ranged buffed.

-When surrounded by hostile mobs, it will perform a 360 barrage that throws snowballs at every mob currently attacking them.

Iron Golem

-Will get angry if targeted mob keeps moving away from it too quickly, when that happens, it will gain a sudden burst of speed and knockback increase.

-No longer targets other golems if friendly fire ever happens.

-Takes increased damage from pickaxes.

Squids

-Ink now blinds mobs in an 8 block radius, glow squids make mobs glow instead.

-Staring at glow squids for too long grants night vision for 30 seconds.

Sniffers

-Can be sneak right-clicked with certain items, they will do a little jumping animation and emit particles that point to biomes relating to the item sniffed. More items can be added via config. (mob-ai-tweak_sniffer_item_to_biome.txt)

>Acacia Sapling: Savannah

>Bamboo: Bamboo Forest

>Birch Sapling: Birch Forest

>Brown Mushroom: Swamp

>Cherry Sapling: Cherry Grove

>Dark Oak Sapling: Dark Oak Forest

>Mangrove Roots: Mangrove Swamp

>Oak Sapling: Oak Forest

>Red Mushroom: Mushroom Fields

>Red Sand: Badlands

>Sand: Desert

>Spruce Sapling: Desert

>Sunflower: Plains

Villagers

-Now eats food to heal just like in bedrock edition. If you name a villager you have previously traded with, it will announce in chat if they have ran out of food. "Your villager friend, <villager name> is out food..."

-Blacksmith-like villagers heal iron golems.

-Clerics heal other villagers and guard villagers by throwing splash potions of healing at them.

-Farmers feed baby animals food to help them grow up faster.

-Sheperds occasionally shear sheep, putting a hopper beneath the sheep instantly sends it to that hopper.

-Fishermen will actually fish.

-Has a new interaction when shift + right-clicked while holding emeralds. These are called special services.

-Cleric: Heals the player by throwing a splash potion of healing at them. Costs 8 emerald per heal. Multiple players cannot perform this transaction simultaneously for balancing purposes.

-Toolsmith: Repairs the tool the player puts in their off-hand. Emerald cost depends on how much durability is repaired.

-Weaponsmith: Repairs the weapon or shield the player puts in their off-hand. Emerald cost depends on how much durability is repaired.

-Armorer: Repairs the armor the player is currently wearing. Emerald cost depends on how much durability is repaired.

-Fletcher: Restocks the arrow in the player's off-hand. Gives 8 of the same arrow type for 1 emerald.

-Villagers can only perform these special services 12 times per restock. They can also be leveled up this way. Also, emerald cost is affected by player reputation and hero of the village.

Wandering Traders

-Splashes attackers with splash potions of blinding.

PETS

-Gain passive health regeneration.

Cats

-Attempts to dodge projectiles.

-Can intercept certain projectiles, turning them into their item form.

Parrots

-Can now teleport to their owners when they are using an elytra or insanely high up.

-Attempts to fly along with their owners when gliding if they are not on anyone's shoulder.

OTHER ADDITIONS

Throwable fire charges

-Self explanatory. This was solely added for the special interaction between wind charges and fire charges (Though, this feature exists in versions without wind charges!)

Goat Horn horde call

-Goat horns can now be used to draw aggro from hostiles in a 128x128x128 cube. Useful for mob farms!

Potions of Blinding

-Potions of blinding are now obtainable in survival. You get them from Illusioners.

Enchantment Rewards

-Some mobs now drop new enchantments added by this mod. This is the mod's way of rewarding you for fighting strengthened mobs without adding any new content.

-These can be disabled in the mod's config (enchantments_from_mod). In 1.21, the enchantments don't get removed but they become unobtainable in survival.

Datapack Support

Adds the following tags

Added the following commands (1.21.1-5 only)

>/attack - makes one mob attack another, recommended to be used in conjunction with /execute for full control

Examples:

/attack @n[type=husk] fake_melee (make husk use swing animation but not deal any damage)

/attack @n[type=drowned] @n[type=bogged] with_melee (make drowned use melee attack on bogged)

/attack @n[type=skeleton] @p from_range (make skeleton use their default ranged attack, in this case, shooting an arrow, on the nearest player to it)

/attack @n[type=zombie] @r custom_projectile minecraft:arrow 1 20 {crit:1b} (make zombie shoot an arrow at a random entity with speed of 1, inaccuracy of 20 and nbt data of {crit:1b})

>/motion - self explanatory, lets you apply velocity to mobs

Examples:

/motion @p 0 1 0 add (adds 1 to y velocity)

/motion @p 0 1 0 set (sets velocity to 0x, 1y, and 0z)

/motion @p ~ 1 ~ set (set y velocity to 1 but keep x and z motion)

/motion @p 0 ~ 1 set true (set x velocity to 0, keep y velocity, set z velocity to 1 and rotate according to yaw)

/motion @p 0.5 ~ 0.5 multiply (multiply x and z velocities with 0.5)

>/pathto - forces mobs to pathfind to a given coordinate or another entity

Examples:

/pathto @n[type=zombie] 0 0 0 (makes zombie pathfind to world spawn)

/pathto @n[type=zombie] ~10 ~ ~ 2.0 (makes zombie pathfind 10 blocks forward in x axis with a speed multiplier of 2.0)

/pathto @n[type=zombie] 0 0 0 2.0 10 (makes zombie pathfind to world spawn with a speed multiplier of 2.0 keeping a minimum distance of 10 blocks away from the destination)

/pathto @n[type=zombie] @p (makes zombies pathfind to the nearest player)

/pathto @n[type=zombie] @p 0.5 (makes zombies pathfind to the nearest player with a speed multiplier of 0.5)

/pathto @n[type=zombie] @p 0.5 4 (makes zombies pathfind to the nearest player with a speed multiplier of 0.5 while keeping a minimum distance of 4 blocks away from them)

>/target - makes mobs target each other

Examples:

/target @n[type=blaze] @n[type=breeze] (makes blaze target breeze)

Additionally, this mod backports /rotate from 1.21.2

Added the following nbt data for the following mobs:

Wither:

>IsEnraged - if the wither is enraged or not. Works even if boss enrage is disabled in the config.

>ChargeAttackTime - setting this to -1 pauses the charge attack, setting it to 100 cancels it.

>SlamAttackTime - setting this to -1 pauses the slam attack, setting it to 100 cancels it. Setting it to 50 "stuns" the Wither on Phase 1.

>IsBlue - makes the wither appear blue, mostly a visual thing.

>SkullsCooldown:[0,1] - vanilla cooldown timers for side head's skulls.

>UntilChargedSkull:[0,1,2,3] - this mod's tally for how many more times a part of the wither needs to shoot a skull to shoot a guaranteed blue skull. Setting any of these to -1 forces that body part of the wither to shoot a blue skull. 0 = body, 1 = main head, 2 = left head, 3 = right head

>blockBreakingCooldown - vanilla block breaking cooldown for the wither's wall breaking ability.

Ender Dragon:

>IsEnraged - if the Jean is enraged or not. Works even if boss enrage is disabled in the config.

>UntilDamagePhase - how many more end crystals need to be destroyed to start DPS phase.

Warden:

>StunTick - stun duration

Elder Guardian:

>dashCooldown - dash cooldown, setting this to 0 causes the guardian's next attack to be a dash.

Villagers:

>ServicesGiven - how many services has this villager given since last restock.

Most Mobs:

>SpecialMove - cooldown for special attacks.

>UsedItem - which weapon slot is currently being "right-clicked" by the mob and how long has it been.

>Target - the UUID of their current target.

>PositionTarget - point of interest. First 3 numbers are coordinates, the last number is minimum distance to keep away from point of interest.

Works/Pairs amazingly with:

-Spiders 2.0/Nyf's Spiders

-Better Mob Combat

-Explosive Enhancement (Wither fight looks dope with the improved explosion visuals!)

-Improved Mobs (To my surprise, they don't conflict at all! Though, watch out for Pillagers with ender pearls, they're damn terrifying...)

Compatibilities:

-True Ending (datapack): That datapack's Ender Dragon rework completely overrides any of the changes from this mod. No crashes tho so you're fine. However, the End Crystal mechanics still work!

-Jaden's Nether Expansion (Wither Strays throw burning coal at the player as supposed to snowballs!)

-Musket Mod, Simple Vanilla Guns and Guns Without Roses (Ranged mobs can use guns from these mods!)

-Timeless and Classics Zero (a bit W.I.P. due to some inconsistencies. Ranged mobs can fire and reload guns from this mod, although no animations for reloading yet. Be sure that when you give them guns via commands, they are loaded! Or else they won't attack. Also, last version this was tested on was 1.0.9 Forge and 1.0.2 Fabric, might not be compatible with newer versions!)

Known Incompatibilites:

-Bedrock Style Wither: I mean, this mod already makes a bigger rework for the Wither.

-Skeleton Tactics: A crash occurs when skeletons target the player. Besides, this mod already lets you make skeletons change to a melee weapon. (By setting "skeleton_switch_to_melee_range" to a number higher than 0, as it is 0 by default, which means it is disabled)

Possible but Fixable Incompatibilies:

-Other mods that change mob AIs like this one (like Special AI, Enhanced AI and Enhanced Mobs). However, you can make these mods work together with the right mod config settings.

-Withering Heights (datapack): This mod's page provides a fix for it though. File download is all the way at the top and is labeled "Withering AI Tweaks"

-Mods that alter End Crystal code can cause soft locks during the dragon fight (SIHYWTCAMD and Nox: Renoxed are two known causes, can be fixed by disabling whatever changes they add to End Crystals)

Slight yet Noticeable Incompatibilities:

-Fresh Animations: skeleton models break when not using their strafing AI, pillagers don't have a melee attack animation. Download and enable "Fresh AI Tweaks" to fix these.

THINGS I WILL NOT ADD:

-Already done rework ideas. (Like humanoid mobs breaking blocks if they have pickaxes. See "Enhanced AI" and "Improved Mobs", they both add them)

-Anything regarding boss minions. (Boss minions are bad game design)

-Anything that makes the game harder. (The goal of this mod is rebalancing/reworking, not making the game harder!) However, this mod adds a new gamerule called "crazy mobs mode"
