Description from the author on Modrinth

Turns Illagers hostile to other hostile mobs

Features

  • Illagers hunt monsters. Pillagers, vindicators, evokers, illusioners, witches, ravagers and vexes attack zombies, skeletons, creepers, slimes, blazes, ghasts and other hostile mobs nearby.
  • Monsters hunt illagers. Hostile mobs attack illagers on sight too. Endermen and zombified piglins stay neutral by default.
  • Players and villagers come first. Mobs only fight each other when they have nothing better to attack.
  • Smarter witches. Against undead mobs, witches throw instant health (which damages undead) instead of harming/poison.
  • No pointless chasing. Vindicators and ravagers ignore ghasts and phantoms they can't reach.
  • Boss mobs stay out. Warden, wither, ender dragon and creaking are left out by default.
  • Uses Paper's Mob Goals API (real AI goals, no fake damage tricks). Future hostile mobs are covered automatically.

Requirements

  • Paper 26.3
  • Java 25

Known limitations

  • Piglins, hoglins, zoglins and breezes use Minecraft's "brain" AI and may only fight back instead of starting fights.
  • Melee mobs can't hit flying mobs (vanilla behaviour).
