Description from the author on Modrinth

Features:

Blood Senses:

You spill blood if you get hurt, shown on the ground, and if low health you bleed out once in a while, and they will sense it and track you down

Sound Senses:

Causing these will alert other monsters of your position, they are:

Mining for blocks, Placing blocks, Explosions, Bows and Crossbows, Eating, Doors, Gates, Notes, Records, Buttons, Levers, Pressure Plates, Tripwires, Chests, Barrels, Pistons, Other zombies, and more!:

The louder the sound the more impact it has on them hearing it:

Light Sources:

Monsters can see exposed light sources from super far away, and will come to investigate if they have line of sight

Config:

Choose what monsters you want enhanced

by default it enables it for: "minecraft:zombie", "minecraft:husk", "minecraft:creeper", "minecraft:skeleton", "minecraft:stray", "minecraft:witch", "minecraft:zombie_villager"

Tries to support modded mobs, After running your modpack once, check out MobLists.toml -> enhanceableMobs to see a list of modded mobs that might work!

Misc:
