MC-264204 Fix
by diskria
MC-264204 Fix is a server-side Fabric mod that corrects how goat ramming counts toward advancements and statistics.
What it does
Goats gain an ANGER flag when they are damaged, and that flag was meant to hide the attacker so the goat would not turn hostile against a player who hit it. The fix skips the check that wrongly treated some player attacks as ordinary mob attacks. As a result, a ramming goat triggers the advancement and statistic it should, even though the mod changes no other mob behavior.
The bug was first tracked in the issue tracker. It appeared when Mojang added goats in Minecraft 1.20, and a later refactor of the related code made the advancement and statistic logic less correct. The mod restores the expected behavior for that path.
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Fabric is the only loader with files, and the latest build is 1.0 for 26.2, published on 2026-08-14. Files cover 1.20 – 26.2 across 23 release versions, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Goat ramming advancements
Ramming a goat now counts for the advancements and statistics tied to that action.
Skipped player check
The fix bypasses the ANGER check for attacks made by a player, so the player is aware of the attack.
Targeted change
Only the goat damage path is changed; other mob aggression logic is left alone.
Server-side install
Clients need nothing, since the change runs entirely on the server.

How it compares
Keep XP on Death is a server-side Fabric mod under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, published for 1.19.4 – 1.20.4 and open source, so it changes death behavior rather than goat logic. Configurable MC-237017 Fix is also server-side on Fabric and covers 1.20 – 1.21.3 under the MIT License, but it is not open source and targets a different bug. Anvil Too Expensive Fix is open source under the MIT License, requires the server, covers 1.21 – 26.3 and addresses anvil costs.

What the author says
The damage dealt by the goat has a unique NO_ANGER flag, which hides the attacking entity from the attacked one, thereby preventing mobs from becoming aggressive in response to the attack. However, this flag does not account for cases where the attacked entity is a player. In such cases, it should not function this…
