Deodorant Mod

The mod adds a deodorant item to the game. A player who sleeps in a bed and wakes to a new day without applying deodorant becomes stinky, and that stinkiness changes how nearby entities behave. Neutral entities such as endermen, which normally turn hostile when attacked, stop attacking the player until the player applies deodorant again or dies.

Other mobs follow the same logic. Entities that would ordinarily attack the player now run around in a panic instead, for about five seconds, and then resume their normal behavior, including attacking zombies or walking toward the player. The stinkiness effect overrides these default behaviors only while it lasts. The mod requires Fabric API. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.19.3 and 1.20.1, and the latest release is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, dated 2023-06-30.

The source code and an issue tracker are published on GitHub, where bugs can be reported. The project is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. In the current release the deodorant item can only be obtained through creative inventory commands.
