# SentientMobs

> Mobs Aren't Dumb Anymore. Every Mob Thinks Smarter.

Minecraft mobs were never meant to feel alive.

Zombies wander aimlessly. Skeletons shoot like they’re guessing. Villagers panic first and think later.

SentientMobs changes that.

Not with artificial difficulty spikes. Not with bloated health bars. Not with unfair damage boosts.

But with intelligence.

## Smarter AI Everywhere

• Dynamic combat behavior
• Adaptive pathfinding
• Coordinated hostile mobs
• Reactive villages
• Profession-based villager systems
• Automatic village defense recovery
• Fully configurable AI systems

Every encounter becomes less predictable. Every fight feels intentional. Every village feels inhabited.

# Living Villages

Villagers are no longer wandering decorations.

They navigate terrain intelligently, avoid getting stuck, detect danger, warn nearby villagers, seek shelter, and respond dynamically to attacks.

Villages now behave more like actual communities.

### Profession Work System

Villagers actively perform profession-themed jobs during work hours.

• Farmers harvest and replant crops
• Villagers generate profession-based supplies
• Produced resources are donated to the Village Community Chest
• Villagers walk between workstations and storage naturally
• Production pauses automatically if storage becomes full

### Village Community Chest

Villages can maintain shared resource storage automatically.

The system is configurable and can be disabled in `config.yml` for servers that prefer vanilla-style behavior.

### Automatic Iron Golem Recovery

Villages can automatically recover from attacks.

• Villages may summon replacement Iron Golems
• Spawn limits prevent excessive golem generation
• Cooldowns and safe-spawn checks are included

# Smarter Combat AI

Combat feels cleaner, sharper, and less mechanical.

### Zombies

• Coordinate attacks
