Enhanced AI Mod changes how mobs behave, making them much smarter and more difficult to deal with. This mod gives enemies better senses, allowing them to see you from farther away and even through walls. Mobs also get new abilities, like climbing ladders, swimming faster, and working together to attack you. If you want a more challenging and unpredictable survival experience, this mod delivers it.

Features:

Changes for All Mobs

  • Mobs can see players from a greater distance and can sense them through walls.
  • They can climb ladders and vines to reach you.
  • All mobs swim much faster than in vanilla Minecraft.
  • Monsters will break any boats or minecarts they get stuck in.
  • They will run away from exploding Creepers and ignited TNT.
  • Some mobs can now ride other mobs, like a Skeleton on a Spider.
  • Zombies have a chance to spawn with a pickaxe to mine their way to you.
  • Zombies may also spawn with Ender Pearls to teleport closer.
  • Some mobs can use a fishing rod to pull you towards them.

Passive & Neutral Mobs

  • Some animals will run away from players on sight.
  • If you attack an animal, others of the same type nearby will either flee or attack you back as a group.
  • Zombified Piglins get angry if a player breaks quartz ore nearby.

Hostile Mobs

  • Blazes: Shoot fireballs with random speed, power, and accuracy.
  • Creepers: Can sometimes ignore walls, breach through them, or even move while exploding.
  • Drowned: Swim even faster and have better AI in the water.
  • Ghasts: Can shoot up to three fireballs at once and may shoot even without seeing you directly.
  • Skeletons: Have better accuracy and can shoot from farther away. They may also flee while continuing to shoot at you.
  • Spiders: Can throw webs to slow you down and take 90% less damage from falls.
  • Witches: Are smarter with potions, can throw two in a row, and may use Dark Arts to turn a Villager into a new Witch.
