Selective Mob Aggression

A mod I desperately needed, yet no one else seemed to have. My wife loves chiseling and hates how janky mobs are. So I wanted a method to turn off mob aggression but only for her so that I can continue to suffer. This mod intercepts all mob's targetting logic

About this project

What does Selective Mob Aggression add?

A mod I desperately needed, yet no one else seemed to have. My wife loves chiseling and hates how janky mobs are. So I wanted a method to turn off mob aggression but only for her so that I can continue to suffer. This mod intercepts all mob's targetting logic and makes flagged players invisible when the AI selects it's next attack target.

Use the command:

/ignoreplayer <playerName> <true|false>

to turn mob aggression on and off for specific players.

DISCLAIMER: I am a complete coding ignoramus. I tried to make this mod work for three weeks with zero success and eventually I just gave up and asked a clanker. As of now, this mod is solid 75% AI slop. I know how it works, but it would have taken me months to learn to make it. Perhaps as I continue to learn, I will be able to rework it to be proper, but right now I just needed something that works. Documentation, comments and everything else will be horrible and dogshit and yes you can laugh at me for it. But it works.
