No Aggressive Mobs
by CodaLark
No Aggressive Mobs removes most hostile mobs from natural spawning and adds crafting recipes and loot sources that replace the items those mobs once supplied.
What it does
Players who prefer a calmer world can use the mod to take out most aggressive mobs, which otherwise make it hard to collect some important items. Items that once came only from monsters are now crafted, smelted or gathered from mining and from passive creatures instead. Peaceful play no longer strips away every challenge, because the mod keeps the difficulty level meaningful.
Prey animals are changed so their drops feel more realistic, and carrots, potatoes and beets can be found in tall grass. Missing recipes are added so that the replacement items can be made in the crafting grid. The mod is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.4, and it works on the client or the server, with neither side required to run it.
Key features
Fewer aggressive mobs
Most hostile mobs are removed from spawning, so the world feels less threatening without switching to peaceful mode.
Alternative item sources
Items that only hostile mobs used to drop can be crafted, smelted or mined from non-hostile sources.
Realistic prey drops
Prey animals return drops that fit their nature, rather than the same generic loot as before.
Added recipes
Recipes for the replacement items are added so the new routes to materials are available in the crafting grid.
