Dзscriptivз 3ntity Tags
by n3r3sh
Descriptive Entity Tags, by n3r3sh, gives mods and datapacks a set of entity tags that group mobs by type and behavior, so other content can refer to them by category.
What it does
The mod provides over thirty entity tags meant to describe vanilla mobs well, and it extends the same grouping to mobs from many other mods. Tags cover groups such as insects, arachnids, birds, mammals, reptiles, aquatic creatures, spirits and constructs, so a single tag can match a whole family of mobs from different sources. Mobs from Tetra's slimeblood and lavablood variants are covered as well, along with a few mobs tagged under forge:bosses and forge:golems.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server that runs it without installing anything. MISC3LLAN3OUS requires Dзscriptivз 3ntity Tags. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with 1.4.2 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge build and 1.5.4 for 1.21.1 as the latest NeoForge build. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Grouped mob tags
Mobs are sorted into tags such as feline, canine, bovidae, serpentine and hybrids, so datapacks can target a family at once.
Backport mob grouping
Backport mobs are grouped together with their vanilla counterparts, and each also has individual tags.
Mouse Omen potion effect
A Mouse Omen potion effect makes feline mobs attack the entity it affects.
Covered mods
Tags are added for mobs from many mods, including Alex's Mobs, Mowzie's Mobs, Quark, Twilight Forest and The Bumblezone, without changes to those mods.

Use cases
Enchantments and effects
Tags can be used in enchantments, potion effects and similar datapack content to target a mob category instead of a list of single mobs.
Compatibility checks
Mods that check for specific mobs can use tags instead, which makes them easier to maintain and more compatible with other mod sets.
Who it’s for: Datapack authors and mod developers who need to target groups of mobs, and server owners who want custom mob rules across many mods.
