Neutron
Neutron lets server owners make hostile mobs neutral toward chosen players, with per-player and per-mob settings applied through commands.
What it does
Neutron changes how mobs decide whether to attack a player. A server admin can turn a mob neutral toward a given player or toward every player, and the setting can be set for one mob type at a time. Neutral mode is off by default and has to be switched on with commands, so a server keeps its normal difficulty until an operator opts in.
Default settings cover boss mobs and certain structure-exclusive mobs, which are turned neutral so they can be avoided, while a list of exceptions keeps some mobs hostile. Endermen can be set to ignore eye contact from players affected by the mod, and actively patrolling mobs can stay neutral even when other types are listed as exceptions. Most player actions still anger neutral mobs, and the Ender Dragon uses the normal targeting system. Wearing gold armor stops piglins and some other mobs from holding a grudge. The mod is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. Its code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features

A mob can be made neutral toward a specific player, or toward all players, through commands.
Per-mob settings
Each mob type can be configured separately, with a list of mobs that ignore neutrality.
Boss and structure mobs
Bosses and mobs exclusive to certain structures are neutral by default, and the set can be adjusted.
Neutrality checks
A listener fires whenever a mob's neutrality toward a target is checked, and it returns true when the mob is neutral.

What the author says
Make mobs neutral to all players or specific players! Most actions that make neutral mobs angry will still be in effect, such as staring at enderman and breaking beehives. However, not wearing gold armor for piglins and darkness for spiders will no longer anger them.
