Relentless Mobs
by Poofy3999
Relentless Mobs makes most hostile mobs chase players from a distance, through blocks, with difficulty that rises as a world goes on.
What it does
Once a mob detects a player, it pursues and attacks, and passive mobs can join in with coordinated attacks. Mobs actively seek out players who are farther away, which turns ordinary exploration into a constant threat and suits hardcore survival play and challenge maps.
The mod is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. Because it changes how mobs behave on the server, both the server and every player need it installed. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. The page lists Forge as the only loader, with a single build, 1.0, for 1.20.1, published on 2025-06-16.
The author notes that the mod is in beta and that encounters can cause performance issues, so pairing it with a performance mod is recommended. The author also says it is compatible with most mob-enhancing mods, and asks that video showcases credit the project with a link.
