Mobs are Friends
by GaeaKat
Mobs are Friends changes hostile mobs so that zombies, skeletons, creepers and spiders can be passive or neutral until a player provokes them.
What it does
Players who find constant hostile mobs tiring can set them to passive or neutral behavior instead of removing them completely. Under the mod, zombies, skeletons, creepers and spiders stay in a neutral state until they are provoked, and spiders behave this way during the day. Wardens stay passive as well, so exploring the world is possible without constant danger, while the Ender Dragon and the Wither remain difficult fights that a player has to choose deliberately.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. Cloth Config API, Mod Menu and Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) must be present on the server. It is published for Quilt across five release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Neutral hostile mobs
Zombies, skeletons, creepers and spiders stay neutral until a player provokes them, instead of attacking on sight.
Daytime spiders
Spiders become passive during the day, so travel in daylight is not interrupted by constant attacks.
Passive Wardens
Wardens remain passive, which allows exploration of deep areas without the constant threat they normally pose.
Preserved late-game bosses
The Ender Dragon and the Wither keep their full difficulty, so these fights still have to be sought out on purpose.
