Farsighted Mobs (Forge & NeoForge)

This mod version is designed for Forge and NeoForge. If you need the Fabric version, please refer to the corresponding page.

If you frequently play Minecraft, you've probably noticed that hostile mobs have extremely limited vision. Creepers, for example, don't detect players until they're within 16 blocks. Considering that mobs don't spawn within 24 blocks of the player, survival becomes too easy - you just need to stand still, and the chance of encountering a threat is minimal.

With this mod, everything changes. By default, the detection radius for all hostile creatures increases to 32 blocks, making the game significantly more challenging. However, you can easily adjust these parameters through the configuration file. You can not only change the minimum distance for all mobs but also set individual values for each type. Want skeletons to spot you from a hundred blocks away? Or prefer zombies to be so blind they bump into you point-blank? Everything is in your hands!

Important: the mod works exclusively on the server side and doesn't require installation on the client.

Please note that changes only affect mobs that spawn after installing the mod or changing settings. Creatures already existing in the world will remain unchanged.
