Home Minecraft Mods Enhanced AI Mod (1.20.1) | Smarter and Stronger Mobs!

Enhanced AI Mod is a Minecraft mod that changes the AI of mobs, making them deadlier and more challenging to face, From jumping creepers to spamming skeletons it’s all there. The mod is configurable to be a spice-up for vanilla or a true hell experience.

Features:

All Mobs:

With Enhanced AI Mod Installed All mobs will instantly target the player instead of having a chance every tick. They will also try to avoid explosions, can see the player from 24~48 blocks away or 12~24 even without line of sight (x-ray), and can swim 2.5x faster. Monsters can no longer be trapped in boats or minecarts, and they can target ladders to climb them.

Mobs Specific Changes:

Creeper:

Creepers in Enhanced AI Mod will have 5% chance to spawn with the ability to Launch (they emit cloud particles when they can Launch). When in range off the player (based on the explosion power) will ignite and throw themselves to the player. At lower world difficulty the launch is less accurate and can miss the player.

2% chance to spawn as a Creeper Cena (bigger explosion).

Skeleton:

Enhanced AI Mod also gives Skeleton the ablity to shot the player from up to 32 blocks, are much more precise, and have 50% chance to be able to run away from players that get too close. When able to flee, they have another 50% chance to shot the player while running away.

Spider:

10% chance to spawn as a Web Thrower. Spiders will throw webs at the player slowing him down, or place a Cobweb if missed. Cave Spiders also poison the entity hit.

Witch:

33% chance to be able to perform Dark Arts: summons and electrocutes a Villager to spawn a new Witch. During the summoning phase, the Witch has 80% damage reduction.

Zombie:

Enhanced AI Mod adds a 7% chance to spawn as a Mining Zombie. Let zombies break blocks to reach the player. They also get equipped with a Wooden Pickaxe. Can’t mine above sea level by default.
