Neutral Animals
by SmushyTaco
Neutral Animals makes chickens, cows, pigs, rabbits, sheep and villagers fight back when a player attacks them.
What it does
Once installed on a Fabric server, the farm animals and villagers named in the summary respond to attacks instead of fleeing or ignoring the player. Players join without installing anything, since only the server runs the mod. Required dependencies are Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and oωo (owo-lib), and Mod Menu is optional. Files cover 1.16.5 – 26.2 and the project is open source under the Apache License 2.0.
Key features
Animals retaliate
Chickens, cows, pigs, rabbits and sheep strike back when a player hits them, instead of running away.
Villagers fight back
Villagers defend themselves when attacked, changing how hostile encounters near villages play out.
Server-side behavior
The changes run on the server, so players connect without the mod installed on their own game.
