Fear of Anything

Customize Mob AI to make any mob fear any item, block, or player. The ultimate tool for mob control, automated farms, and creative base defense. Server-side, lightweight, and fully configurable.

Total Control Over Mob AI. You Decide What They Fear.

Are you tired of predictable mob behavior? Do you want to build a truly unique base defense or design a complex, automated mob farm? From the creator of Fear of Fire, Fear of Anything evolves the concept into a powerful, universal tool that puts you in complete control of mob AI.

This server-side mod allows you to create fear-based rules for any mob in the game, including those from other mods. Make Creepers flee from flowers, make Zombies run from players holding a golden sword, or even make a powerful modded boss retreat from a simple block of wool. With support for NBT data and block states, the possibilities for creative mob control, automation, and gameplay design are truly limitless.

Key Features

• 🧠 Customizable Mob AI: The core of the mod. Gain precise control over mob behavior by defining what scares them. A must-have for modpack creators and technical players.
• 🎯 Target Any Mob (with NBT Support): Add any mob from vanilla or mods to a fear group. Target all zombies, or only those with a specific name or wearing specific armor.
• 🗡️ Fear of Items (with NBT Support): Make mobs flee from players holding an item, or from an item on the ground. This includes modded items and specific NBT data, allowing for unique tools like a "Creeper-Repelling-Stick."
• 🧱 Fear of Blocks (with Block State Support): Designate any block as a source of fear. The system is smart enough to check for specific block states, like a lever being powered:true or a fence being waterlogged:true.
• ⚙️ Simple TOML Configuration: All rules are created in the easy-to-edit firefearmod-common.toml config file. This makes configuration incredibly flexible and straightforward for server owners and pack makers.
• 🚀 Server-Side & Lightweight: The mod runs entirely on the server, so players don't need to install it. The AI checks are highly optimized for minimal performance impact, ensuring a smooth experience on any server.

What Will You Create?

This is a sandbox for your creativity. Here are just a few ideas:

• Ultimate Creeper-Proofing: Make Creepers terrified of minecraft:poppy blocks. Finally, you can build with whatever you want, knowing your beautiful flower garden is also your best defense.
• Automated Mob Farms & Herding: Design advanced mob farms by creating pathways and sorting systems using fear. Use a specific item as a "herding wand" to guide mobs exactly where you want them to go for efficient farming.
• Immersive Base Defense: Create a thematic defense that fits your world. Make Pillagers fear minecraft:emerald_block, protecting your villager trading hall without a single wall.
• Adventure Map & Quest Design: Build complex quests and puzzles. Create a "Holy Amulet" that forces a powerful boss to flee, allowing players to access a new area. The narrative potential is huge.
• Instant Safe Zones: For a simpler survival experience, make all hostile mobs fear the minecraft:crafting_table, giving you a guaranteed safe bubble wherever you go.
