Description

## Summary Enhanced AI is a mod that changes mobs AI, making them smarter and harder to deal with. ## The mod Enhanced AI aims to make the slow and boring mobs into a better and unpredictable experience. The default mod's configuration is a spice up of vanilla difficulty. You can alter the config to have a true nightmare experience, or make it easier. Please note that as of v3 (around MC 1.19.2) this only affects vanilla mobs as modded mobs may not work properly. You can still try to add them in the relevant Entity Type Tags to allow modded mobs to get EAI features (check the wiki). [Check out the website for a complete list of features](https://www.insane96.eu/projects/mods/enhancedai) \[Check out the wiki for all the infos for pack makers\] ([https://github.com/Insane96/EnhancedAI/wiki](https://github.com/Insane96/EnhancedAI/wiki)) ### v2 Features list
