Prey Effect
by ACGaming
Prey Effect lets players draw mobs to them through a single potion-style effect, with five levels that set how far away the mobs can sense a player.
What it does
Mobs that are attacking a player can sense that player from farther away while the Prey effect is active. The effect comes in five levels, each setting a follow range in blocks: Prey at 8 blocks, Prey II at 16, Prey III at 24, Prey IV at 32 and Prey V at 40. Modpack creators can adjust the default follow ranges to tune how intense the challenge becomes.
The effect is not triggered by anything in the game itself. It is added only through commands, for example by giving a player the prey:prey effect for 30 seconds with particles hidden. The mod is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.12.2 only, and it is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public. Both the server and every player need it, since the effect is applied on the server and felt on the client.
