*** # **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. *** ### FAQ **Q: How do I configure the mobs and their fears?** A: All configuration is done using the **config file**.
