Trigger Mobs

by spock117

Trigger Mobs changes how hostile mobs use NTGL guns, so that a mob shooting at another mob does not start a chase against the player.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Trigger Mobs targets the gun AI of NukaTeam's Gun Lib, which is required. Its mob gun targeting makes a mob follow its attack target without relying on LivingEntity.canAttack, which removes the cases where chases were triggered wrongly. The mod replaces NTGL's mob GunAttackGoal with its own MobGunAttackGoal, so only one gun pipeline runs for hostiles and the guards from Guard Villagers.

Piglins keep the vanilla AbstractPiglin aggression, and their off-state magazine dumps are respected. A mixin hooks into NTGL's server code so that a hostile sweep runs for unsilenced shots, and setLastHurtByMob is applied within sound range. The sweep skips shots from mobs, so a single mob's gunfire does not turn nearby hostiles around. Projectiles still spawn and players are still shot. Trigger Mobs works with Create: Gunsmithing guns, usable mobs, guards and recruits, and NukaTeamGunLib gun packs, and it runs on NeoForge builds from 1.21.1 onward.

The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with the source code and issue tracker publicly linked. Files cover 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.21.1 on NeoForge, so the Forge build and NeoForge build differ by game version.

Key features

  1. Mob gun targeting

    Mobs follow their attack target directly, so shooting at one mob does not start a chase against the player.

  2. Single gun pipeline

    Only the MobGunAttackGoal and its strategies run for hostile mobs and guards, replacing NTGL's mob GunAttackGoal.

  3. Monster-on-monster gunfire

    Monsters aim gun AI at other monsters, while the player and non-monster entities keep their normal behavior.

  4. Hostile sweep fix

    Unsilenced shots trigger a hostile sweep, but shots from non-player shooters do not make nearby hostiles turn on the shooter.

What the author says

TriggerMobs turns hostile mobs into NukaTeamGunLib gunners: strafe, spacing, reload, and configurable spread. Optional Create:Gunsmithing adds weapon-specific AI (flintlocks, shotguns, gatlings, launchers, and more). Optional Guard Villagers lets village guards use the same NTGL/CGS behavior when that mod is…
