Swarm Flyers
by anobsmods
Swarm Flyers changes how flying mobs move in groups, replacing their default pathing with a flocking system for NeoForge servers.
What it does
Flying mobs in the swarm group follow a Boids-style waypoint system, which steers each mob relative to its neighbors so that groups move together instead of separately. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. It is published for NeoForge and for two game versions, 1.21.1 and 26.2, and is released under the Apache License 2.0, though it is not open source.
Key features
Boids flocking movement
Flying mobs use a Boids algorithm with waypoints, so swarms keep formation and pathfinding looks more natural.
Configurable mob list
A config option lets server owners choose which mobs take part in swarm movement.
Bats and bees by default
Out of the box only bats and bees are affected, and other flying mobs can be added through the config.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
