SIHYWTCAMD

by Pardys

Hostile mobs across the game are reworked by SIHYWTCAMD, a Fabric mod that makes most of them harder to deal with.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.19 – 1.21.11

What it does

Almost every hostile mob gets changes, ranging from small tweaks to larger reworks. Several are drawn from the Bedrock edition, which plays differently from Java and is often harder. Hostile mobs have a doubled follow range, though their aggro range stays the same. Mobs that carry a flee goal stop fleeing once their health falls under half, most hostile mobs now attack villagers, and mobs riding others path around blocks using the accumulated dimension. Players take no fall damage from these changes, and larvae spawn faster depending on local difficulty.

The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it, and a single-player world or a LAN host can add it on the client. The mod was split into a separate server-only part, SIHYWTCAMD Extensions, so players who may install mods can run both for the full experience. Fabric API is required. Builds cover 1.19 – 1.21.11, with the latest file for 1.21.11, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Reworked hostile mobs

    Most hostile mobs receive changes, from minor adjustments to large reworks inspired partly by Bedrock.

  2. Doubled follow range

    Hostile mobs track players from twice the distance, while their aggro range is left unchanged.

  3. Fleeing limit

    Mobs with a flee goal stop running away once their health drops below half.

  4. Hostile villagers

    Most hostile mobs treat villagers as targets, which changes village encounters.

  5. Larva speed scaling

    Larvae spawn with extra speed that depends on the local difficulty.
