Social Distance
by Karashok-Leo
Social Distance limits how close players and other entities can get before a mob's attack reaches them, with a per-mob setting for each target.
What it does
Protection mobs can be set to ignore damage from sources the mod does not cover, and a boss protection list names entities that should stay out of reach. Each list entry uses an identifier in namespace:path form, and its value sets the social distance, a float that applies within a player's attack target range. The mod is configured through the same file, so a distance can be tuned for each boss or mob type without changing the others. Social Distance is client and server, so both the server and every player need it, and it is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 on Fabric and Forge.

What the author says
To add the boss to the protection list, just simply add an entry to the "distance_config" property. The key of the entry represents the identifier (namespace:path) of the entity.
