ReTargetato
by KalebLangley
Players who want hostile mobs to stop attacking each other can use ReTargetato, a Forge mod that changes how monsters pick their targets.
What it does
ReTargetato alters the targeting logic inside the game, so one hostile entity can be prevented from attacking another. Server owners choose between blacklist and whitelist modes to decide which entities may attack which. Client and server both need the mod, so it must be installed on the server and on every player's client. The mod is for Forge only and covers game version 1.20.1, with version 1.1 as the latest file, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. The code is open source and the source is public.
Key features
Stop monsters killing others
Hostile mobs can be kept from attacking other mobs, so a monster does not eliminate its neighbors.
Blacklist and whitelist modes
Entity targeting can be restricted by a blacklist or a whitelist, controlling which mobs may attack which others.
Filtering for specific entities
Individual entities can get special handling, such as stopping Wither Skeletons from targeting certain mobs.
