Smart Mobs

# Smart Mobs Vanilla mobs are basically solved puzzles. You learn the pattern once and they stop being a threat. This mod throws those patterns out and replaces them with behavior that actually keeps you on your toes. --- ## Per-Mob Changes ### Creeper - Can't path to you? It'll just blow a hole through whatever's in the way - Leaves napalm fire all over the ground after it goes off - Spawns pre-charged 10% of the time with no warning ### Skeleton - Leads its shots — it's aiming where you're going to be, not where you are now - Fires at double vanilla speed, so strafing matters a lot less than it used to ### Enderman - Doesn't chase you. Just teleports you to a random spot nearby and lets you deal with it - Does the same thing to villagers, which tends to go badly for them ### Zombie - Digs through blocks if you're on the other side - Pillars up with cobblestone to reach higher ground - Kills a player? Coin flip chance they come back as a zombie wearing their own name ### Spider - Shoots cobwebs at your feet from 8 blocks out to pin you down - Mostly useful because it gives every other mob time to catch up to you --- ## Every Hostile Mob **They dodge.** Arrows, sword swings — they track incoming and step out of the way. You have to commit to your attacks and actually think about timing. **Line of sight is gone.** Ducking behind a wall buys you time to run, not time to hide. They know where you are regardless. **They swim after you.** Water used to be a reliable escape. It isn't anymore — they'll follow you in and keep up. **They split between targets.** Instead of every mob in the area piling onto one person, they spread out and go after whoever's closest to each of them. **Villagers aren't safe either.** Mobs will go after them the same way they come after you. Don't assume your village is fine just because you're not in it. --- ## New in This Version ### Chaos Mode Every mob attacks whatever's nearest to it. Other mobs, players, animals — nobody is on anyone's side. It needs to be unlocked in the config before you can turn it on, which is intentional. It's genuinely chaotic. Command: `/smartmobs chaos enable` Config unlock required. OP only. ### Config Reload Every feature has its own toggle. Change whatever you want and apply it without touching the world — no restart needed, which saves a lot of time when you're testing things. Command: `/smartmobs reload` Takes effect immediately. --- *Everything can be turned off individually in the config.*
