Angry Mobs
by Mrbysco
Angry Mobs adds configurable AI behavior to vanilla animals, and gives pack developers CraftTweaker tools to attach extra AI goals to mobs.
What it does
Three config options control the behavior. angryAnimals makes vanilla animals strike back when they are hurt. angryReinforcements, which only takes effect with angryAnimals enabled, lets hurt animals call nearby reinforcements. aggressiveAnimals makes animals actively target players. Each option can be switched on separately in the mod's configuration.
Pack developers can add AI goals to existing mobs through the optional CraftTweaker integration, which requires CraftTweaker to be installed. The available goals are AttackNearest, HurtByTarget, LeapAtTarget, MeleeAttack and ProjectileAttack, covering targeting the nearest entity, retaliating against an attacker, leaping at a target, melee strikes and shooting projectiles. Script syntax is described on the wiki.
The mod is licensed under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code, issue tracker and wiki public. It runs on Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.16.5 – 26.2, and the latest NeoForge build targets 26.2.

Scripted mob behavior
A developer can write CraftTweaker scripts that give specific mobs a leap or ranged attack for a custom encounter.
Who it’s for: Pack developers who want to change how mobs behave, and server owners who want animals to respond to attacks. Players who only want new mobs will find this mod does not add creatures.
