Crying Mobs
by 0xMew
Crying Mobs makes some mobs cry after being hit, and a craftable Lollipop can calm them down.
What it does
A struck mob may begin to cry; water droplets then run down its face for somewhere from 15 seconds up to 4 minutes. The crying is purely a visual and emotional effect layered onto the mob, and it appears alongside the existing combat of the game.
To console a crying mob, a player can use a Lollipop, which the mod adds as a craftable item from Sugar, Flint Steel and a Stick. Using it on a crying mob ends the crying at once, hearts appear, and a soft chime plays. Using flint steel to craft the Lollipop costs durability, and the mod also includes four advancements tied to the crying mechanic.
The mod is installed with Fabric API, which is required, and it runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It is published for Fabric only, with files for 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11 and 26.1, the latest being 1.2.0 for 26.1. The code is released under the MIT License, but the mod is not open source.
