Fear of Anything
Complete Control Over Mob Behavior in Minecraft
Tired of predictable mob behavior in the game? Want to create truly unique base defense or design complex automated farms? Fear of Anything is a powerful tool that gives you complete control over creature AI.
This server-side mod allows creating fear-based behavior rules for any creatures in the game, including mobs from other modifications. Make creepers run from flowers, zombies fear players with golden swords, or even powerful bosses retreat from ordinary wool blocks. Support for NBT data and block states opens unlimited possibilities for creative mob management, automation, and game design.
