Attract to Sound ([NEO]Forge/Fabric): Realistic mob hearing & stealth AI.

Attract to Sound: Telereceptors

Mobs with working eyes, ears, and noses. They can trace your footsteps to follow you home and react to gunshots, footsteps, grenades, and voice chat. Realistic vision makes stealth and camouflage practical. Use camouflage to blend in, improve invisibility, and hide enchantment glint.

Platforms & Versions

• Forge, NeoForge & Fabric
• Tested Minecraft versions commonly supported by releases: 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11, 26.2

🧰 Core Features

Sound Attraction: Mobs investigate sound events (blocks, entities, items, modded sounds)

Stealth & Visibility: Player visibility affected by light, weather, stance, movement, invisibility

Camouflage System

• Truly invisible under invisibility potion effect, both armor and item are hidden (configurable on server side for anticheat)
• Armor-only camouflage with configurable items and bonuses
• Full “armor + nearby blocks” sets using color/ID matching
• Apply camo materials like mud, sand, dirt, etc., to blend in with the environment

Scent System:

• Player movement creates a scent trail that mobs can track.  
• Scent lasts about 5 minutes but varies by biome temperature and humidity.
• Dive into the water to cut off the trail.
• Can apply camo material to mask the scent.

Raid System:

• Instead of a normal horde, mobs will schedule a RAID upon finding a player near the sound or scent position.
• Mobs will call for reinforcement upon scheduling a RAID.

Muffling & Materials: Wool, solids, liquids, and thin blocks alter sound propagation

Group AI: Leaders, followers, edge scouts, spacing, dynamic sector scanning

Swoosh: A configurable list of projectiles, when thrown, will attract mobs to the thrown direction

Creek: Walking on a configurable list of blocks will make the creek sound Awareness UI & Alerts:

• Track the current windshield effect, smell level, sound level, and detection level with a new awareness UI.
• See alerts above mobs for alerts, detection, near-miss arrows, and raids.

Living Bridge:

Zombies and other configurable mobs can climb over one another to form a living bridge into your base. This feature is enabled by default.

Trap-Aware Pathfinding: Mobs can account for traps such as trapdoors and placed lava, so they’re less likely to be tricked by them.

Wind-Spreading Scent: Wind carries scent through the world. With Weather2 installed, scent uses realistic wind sampling.

Food Scent: Food can add to the scent that attracts mobs. With Spoiled installed, spoiled food increases the scent.

Improved Compatibility & Performance:

• Improved smoke, flash, and camouflage rendering for TacZ Hostiles and TacZ NPC.
• Fixed limb rendering with From The Fog.
• Significantly improved performance.

Configurable Everything: Multiple config files in config/soundattract with guided comments
