Name bros

by AqUpd

Name Bros is a server-side Fabric mob mod that makes entities sharing a display name friendly toward each other.

What it does

Entities that carry the same custom name stop treating one another as enemies, so a group of named mobs can be kept together without fighting. The behaviour is controlled on the server, and a command lets operators use the feature in play. Only the server needs the mod, so players can join without installing anything.

Name Bros requires Fabric API and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with its source code and issue tracker public. Files target 1.19.2 – 1.20.4, and the latest file, 1.6, is for 1.20.4.

Key features

  1. Friendly same-name mobs

    Entities that share a name are made friendly toward each other, so matching mobs do not attack one another.

  2. Name-based grouping

    Naming a set of mobs the same way is enough to group them, with no extra items or setup required.

  3. Command access

    A namebros command lets operators inspect or control the feature during play.

Questions

Does Name Bros need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Name Bros on the server.

Do players need Name Bros installed?

No. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join.
