Peaceful Aura
by emrila
Peaceful Aura is a food mod that adds a potion effect which keeps mobs from targeting the player who holds it.
What it does
A poisonous potato baked in a campfire, furnace or smoker becomes an edible item that grants the effect for 1 minute. The potion version, made on a brewing stand, lasts 3 minutes and 8 minutes in its lingering form. Other mobs can be struck by splash and lingering versions, and the effect also applies to bosses such as the wither and the ender dragon.
While the effect is active, passive mobs stop panicking when they are hurt or see a potential threat, and non-passive mobs behave as passive ones until it wears off. The wither still makes its initial explosion and occasionally spawns blue wither heads, the ender dragon still spawns breath particles on landing, and the elder guardian still applies Mining Fatigue III near a monument. Slimes and magma cubes still deal damage on contact. Installation needs Fabric API on every loader, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.0.5 for 26.3 as the latest file.

Another mod that turns mobs passive, but not towards everyone, everything, or all the time. The effect of Peaceful Aura can be applied to you (the player) and any mob (including the wither and ender dragon).
