Nightmare Mobs AI

by er.ru

Nightmare Mobs AI changes how classic hostile mobs behave: zombies, skeletons, creepers and spiders hunt players more aggressively and gain new abilities.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Classic hostile mobs relentlessly pursue players and can besiege a home. Zombies break blocks, as if they were using a hand, while skeletons keep shooting even without a clear line of sight, which makes the threat feel more pressing. Creepers work together to tear down walls that would keep players out, and spiders climb as before but press harder.

The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API and is published for Fabric only, with one build, 1.0.0, for 1.21.1. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source is publicly available.

Key features

  1. Relentless hunting

    Classic hostile mobs actively seek out players and besiege their homes instead of wandering.

  2. Block-breaking zombies

    Zombies can break blocks, including by hand, which opens paths into enclosed bases.

  3. Long-range skeletons

    Skeletons fire even without line of sight, a change mainly in how the threat feels.

  4. Wall-breaking creepers

    Creepers cooperate to demolish walls that stand between them and players.
