Fear me! (not)
by ZigTheHedge
Fear me! (not) lets server owners name players whose mobs should flee from them, a Forge server option for building-focused worlds.
What it does
Players included in the Feared Ones list cause nearby mobs to flee from their line of sight, so builders can work without constant fights. Server admins add and remove players from this list with commands, and the list of Feared Ones UUIDs can be displayed on demand. The mod has an in-game configuration set with commands, and the configuration file can be reloaded without restarting the server.
The mod was written for testing purposes and is an adaptation of an idea first implemented by Ilya Pirogov. It is published for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge file, and it runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. The author notes that client-side installation is not needed and invites questions about it, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source, though public links to the source code exist.

What the author says
Original idea and implementation of this mod for 1.7.10 belongs to Ilya Pirogov! In two words: this mod allows players to be included in a special list, causing mobs to flee on sight! Great for people who prefer building over fighting.:D
