Center of the World
by cuando.
Center of the World is a NeoForge server mod that changes how hostile and passive mobs locate players, including players who stand still.
What it does
Mobs in the mod know the location of players at all times, and this includes players who stay in one place. Hostile and passive mobs both gain the ability to find a standing player, so the usual protection of staying still no longer applies. The author describes the mod as a long, risky idea that is never safe, and recommends it only on lower difficulties with other mods for assistance. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. Published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.8 – 1.21.10 and 1.0.0 for 1.21.10 as the latest file. All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

What the author says
Center of the World makes it so all mobs, hostile and passive, know your location at all times, standing still for too long is a bad idea, you are never safe. The mod is REALLY hard, so its recommended to play on lower difficulties or with other mods for assistance.
