Safe(ish) Respawn
In standard Minecraft, hostile mobs only despawn when the player is very far away from them. This can create problems if the player encounters a horde of monsters near their respawn point, leading to an endless death cycle from the same creatures.
This mod changes entity behavior logic, allowing mobs to despawn if there are no living players nearby. This way, after death, the player will respawn without hostile mobs around (provided there are no other players in the area).
This behavior is similar to what happens on PaperMC servers, possibly due to their "delay-chunk-unloads-by" implementation.
This change could disrupt the operation of some specific mob farms that use Nether or End portals, but the developer has tried to ensure this is not the case! Please report an issue if you discover any unintended consequences.
