Smart Mobs

Ported to Minecraft 1.21.11 using Fabric Loader 0.18.5 and Fabric API 0.141.3+1.21.11.

Mob behavior

• Creepers can blast through walls when blocked, spawn charged, and spread fire with napalm explosions.
• Skeletons lead moving targets, compensate for arrow drop, and shoot faster arrows.
• Endermen teleport players to random nearby positions. You can enable this for villagers too.
• Zombies dig when their path is blocked and build cobblestone pillars to reach higher targets. They can turn a killed player into a named zombie clone with a rising animation.
• Spiders place cobwebs on targets within range.
• Monsters dodge arrows and melee swings by moving sideways relative to the attacker.
• Monsters swim faster and pursue targets more aggressively in water.
• Mobs can track targets through walls and attack villagers. Both are configurable, including whether mobs use their abilities on villagers.
• Groups spread out between targets instead of all focusing on one player.

Configuration and commands

Edit config/smart-mobs.json to configure the features, then run /smartmobs reload to apply changes without a restart.

Chaos mode makes all mobs hostile to everything in the current dimension. Enable it with /smartmobs chaos enable.
