This mod adds some extra behaviors for mobs that make them smarter, the goal is to increase the difficulty of the game by making entities stand more of a chance against the player rather than simply increasing stats.

This mod is highly configurable and allows to disable / enable nearly all features as well as extend them to other entities that arent from the mod all using a config file.

Also check this mod out in Curseforge!

Feature list

Zombies will now break blocks in their way to the player

Zombies will place blocks under them if the player is above a pillar or a high platform

Note: Blocks placed by zombies will automatically remove themselves after there are no zombies nearby to use them, no need to clean them up manually!

Spiders will shoot webs to players that are too far for them to reach, slowing them down

Endermen will attempt to avoid fighting players who are under a 2 block high ceeling

Skeletons will attempt to flee from a player whos too close.

Skeletons will attempt to dodge arrows

(DISABLED BY DEFAULT) Creepers will explode against walls

Creepers have a chance to become "Stalkers". There are two methods of stalking Normal Stalkers and Reverse Stalkers
- Normal stalkers will become invisible and stand still & become invisible when the player is looking at them and advance forward when not being looked at.
- Reverse Stalkers will rapidly sprint towards the player when looked at, but otherwise remain invisible and still awaiting their oportunity.

Iron golems will attempt to jump to reach their target
Wither skeletons can break blocks at a slower rate than zombies
Villagers may run towards iron golems and call them for aid when hurt
Skeletons have a 50% chance to swap to a sword to attack the player when up close

All behaviors can be disabled and enabled in the config
