What's new

🚀 Photophobic Mobs - Update v1.1.0

🧠 AI & Flee Behavior Improvements

  • Smart Vector Fleeing: Fixed an issue where mobs holding light would accidentally flee toward other nearby light sources. Mobs now retreat directly away from light sources straight into pitch darkness.
  • Navigation & Wall Collision Fix: Improved pathfinding logic so fleeing mobs no longer get stuck running into solid walls or dangerous cliffs.

⚡ Performance & Server Optimization

  • Reflection-Free AI: Removed heavy reflection checks in nighttime detection for zero-overhead tick logic.
  • Optimized Block Scanning: Drastically reduced spatial block lookups (fire & lava scanning reduced from 800+ to 25 blocks) to maintain a smooth 20.0 TPS on multiplayer servers.
  • Throttled Pathfinding: Flee AI recalculations are now throttled to run every 6 ticks for maximum performance.

🛠️ Admin Commands & Permissions

  • Server Admin Commands: Added /photophobic commands (OP / Singleplayer Host required):
    • /photophobic addflee <mob_id> - Add a mob to the light-phobic list.
    • /photophobic removeflee <mob_id> - Remove a mob from the light-phobic list.
    • /photophobic addattract <mob_id> - Add a mob to the light-attracted list.
    • /photophobic removeattract <mob_id> - Remove a mob from the light-attracted list.
    • /photophobic list - View active configuration lists in chat.
    • /photophobic reload - Reload config from disk.
  • GUI Security: Restricted /photophobicconfig in-game menu access exclusively to Server Operators (OP) and Singleplayer hosts.

🧹 Cleanup & Compatibility

  • Torch Attack Cleanup: Removed the torch hit knockback event for a smoother, purely AI-driven survival experience.
