mobsfriendly
by sal-fish
Mobsfriendly turns hostile mobs neutral toward players who carry a configured tag, so tagged players can walk among mobs that would otherwise attack.
What it does
Once the config files are set, the listed mobs stay neutral toward any player who holds the matching tag. The mod ships example config files, and tags can be granted through other means, such as KubeJS scripts. Mechanically, a neutral mob will still strike back if it is attacked first. Mobsfriendly runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for six game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.0.0 as the latest file under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Hostile mobs made neutral
Configured hostile mobs stop attacking players who carry the matching tag, while other players remain targets.
Tag-based player rules
Tags applied to players decide which mobs are neutral toward them, set in the mod's config files.
Example configuration
Example config files show how to list mobs and tags, so server owners can adapt them without writing code.

What the author says
You can add mobs and tags in the config files as examples. Once configured, the corresponding mobs will remain "neutral" towards players who possess this tag. This means they will not attack you unless you attack them first This mod does NOT include any mechanics to apply "tags" to players. So you'll have to apply…
