No AI Spawn Eggs

by Darkhax

Players who want mobs frozen in place for screenshots or custom maps can use No AI Spawn Eggs, which adds creative spawn eggs that create mobs with their AI disabled.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 onlyOpen source1.12.2 – 26.3

What it does

The mod adds a creative tab of spawn eggs. Each egg spawns its mob with the vanilla NoAI tag set, which switches off the behavior coded into the mob's AI, so the mob cannot path find or wander. Mobs still respond to the environment: zombies, for example, continue to burn in sunlight.

It was first made to photograph mobs without them fleeing or fighting nearby creatures, and it also suits building custom maps. Vanilla commands give finer control, but they are often forgotten, so the eggs offer a quicker route to the same setting. Modded mobs may still run part of their behavior if their own code ignores the flag, which the author describes as a bug in that mod.

Installation requires Bookshelf and Prickle on all loaders, and Fabric API on Fabric. No AI Spawn Eggs runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with 25 release versions covering 1.12.2 – 26.3. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only and is open source.

Key features

  1. Creative tab of spawn eggs

    A dedicated creative tab groups the spawn eggs, so they are simple to find in the inventory.

  2. AI-disabled mobs

    Each egg creates its mob with the NoAI tag, so the mob stays in place.

  3. Environmental reactions kept

    Mobs still react to the world around them, such as zombies burning in daylight.

  4. Quick access to a vanilla feature

    The eggs replace the need to type the NoAI command, which many players rarely use.
