NoCover

by HER0XP

NoCover gives mobs a custom AI goal that lets them break blocks while they chase a player who has just damaged them.

ForgeServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

When a player damages a mob, the mob can begin breaking blocks to reach its target, and other mobs can break blocks in the same way. The behavior is added as a custom AI goal, so it applies during the mob's normal pursuit. Configuration support for filtering which mobs and blocks are affected is planned for future updates. NoCover is a Forge mod for 1.20.1, published by HER0XP and released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Only the server needs it, and players can join without installing anything.

Key features

  1. Block breaking during pursuit

    Mobs that have been hit by a player can break blocks on their way to that player.

  2. Mob-to-mob block breaking

    Mobs can also break blocks while targeting other mobs, not only players.

  3. Planned block filtering

    The author plans configuration options for choosing which mobs and blocks are affected in later updates.
