Mob Vision
by Snycent
Mob Vision draws the attack, view and chase ranges of hostile mobs as outlines in the world, so their detection behavior can be read at a glance.
What it does
Mob Vision draws the range circles that hostile mobs use to notice a player, start a chase, jump or explode. Each range type can be shown or hidden on its own, and the settings screen opens with the O key. Creepers, zombies and spiders are supported, and the author plans to add more mobs in future updates.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing anything. It is published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.4, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file released on 2025-03-12. The code is not open source; Snycent holds all rights to it.
Mob Vision is aimed at players who want to understand how mobs detect and engage them, in survival play or technical testing of mob behavior.
