AngerMod
by lunapuv
AngerMod makes mobs turn hostile when players break certain blocks or perform other chosen actions, and it can make piglins and endermen angry as well.
What it does
Under AngerMod, actions such as breaking specific blocks can provoke nearby mobs into attacking the player. Forbidden blocks, including some ores in the Nether and the End, are set in the config, so mining them carries a cost. Each kill of a mob can also carry a chance to cause an explosion, and the chance is adjustable.
Items can be listed in the config so that they bypass the explosion chance. Piglins and endermen respond to the player's actions in the same way as other mobs. Every feature is configurable, so server owners can tune the rules to match their world.
AngerMod is a Forge mod with files for six release versions, and the newest is 1.1.0 for 1.20.6, published 2024-10-31. The server and every player need the mod installed. The license is the MIT License, and the mod is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Angry mobs on actions
Certain player actions, such as breaking particular blocks, make nearby mobs hostile toward the player.
Forbidden blocks
A configurable list of blocks, including Nether and End ores, triggers the anger effect when mined.
Explosion chance on kills
Mobs killed by the player can have a chance to explode, with the chance set in the config.
Explosion-safe items
Configurable items can bypass the explosion chance entirely, so specific tools stay safe to use.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Hardened survival rules
Server owners can make mining and combat riskier by tying common actions to mob aggression.
Dangerous ore progression
Restricting Nether and End ores to players who accept the risk adds a tradeoff to late-game mining.
Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack authors who want mob behavior tied to player actions. Players on a shared server need the mod installed too, since it runs on client and server.
How it compares
Skills is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License and runs on client and server, but it covers player progression rather than mob anger. killbind/explode is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the Apache License 2.0 and also runs on client and server, and it is not open source. Stop Break Me Plz is a Forge mod under the MIT License that runs on client and server, and it also protects blocks from being broken.
