About this project

What does Enhanced AI add?

Summary

Enhanced AI is a mod that changes mobs AI, making them smarter and harder to deal with.

The mod

Enhanced AI aims to make the slow and boring mobs into a better and unpredictable experience.
The default mod's configuration is a spice up of vanilla difficulty. You can alter the config to have a true nightmare experience, or make it easier.

Please note that as of v3 (around MC 1.19.2) this only affects vanilla mobs as modded mobs may not work properly. You can still try to add them in the relevant Entity Type Tags to allow modded mobs to get EAI features (check the wiki).

Check out the website for a complete list of features

[Check out the wiki for all the infos for pack makers] (https://github.com/Insane96/EnhancedAI/wiki)

v2 Features list

All mobs

Anti-Cheese

Mobs with this feature enabled (by default all monsters) will break boats and minecarts they're stuck in.
Can be configured to prevent mobs from being minecarted or boated.

All mobs will run away from a creeper about to explode or an ignited TnT

Break Anger

Zombified Piglins will get angered when a closeby player will break quartz ore.
Configurable to make any set mob target a player breaking specific blocks.

Fishers

Mobs with a Fishing Rod will be able to reel in players. By default only Zombies can spawn with a Fishing Rod.
When reeled, there's a chance that items in the target's inventory are reeled instead of the target.

Custom Mob Fleeing

Any mob can be configured to run from any other mob. By default there's no custom mob fleeing.

Leaping

Disabled by default because it's just a draft, makes mobs make a small jump towards the target.

Targeting

Mobs have enhanced targeting capabilities.
They have increased sight (can see targets from farther away) and can also sense targets through walls.
Mobs also have better targeting when hit (e.g. Creepers will now switch taget if who hit them is closer).
Also mobs will no longer fight eachother, have a small chance to be neutral and are affected by blindness effect.

Biters

Zombies (by default) are able to bite entities that hit them without a weapon.

Item Disruption

Mobs that hit an entity are able to disarm it. By default only enderman can do that.

Melee Attacking

Also mobs use the new 1.20.2 attack changes.

Spawning

Min spawn distance has been increased and max has been decreased, so mobs will spawn more closer to the player.
