Makes a lot of the creatures act... strange, in a somewhat hilarious way. All of these can be customized through commands!

About this Mod
You will encounter crazy stuff from Zombies riding parrots to Skeletons dodging arrows by jumping in lava, Enderman antagonizing players to stare at them, Iron Golem jumping to hit the towered player, Creepers destroying just to destroy. All for entertainment and for a more lively world. Everything in the mod is customizable.
What this mod does:
- Zombies will now have a 50% (configurable) chance of looking for the closest animal to ride each time they're hit.
- Endermen will now occasionally antagonize players by rapidly (configurable) running into the player.
- Creepers will now rarely (configurable) get excited and blow up before even getting near the player.
- Skeletons will now have a chance (configurable) to attempt to dodge incoming shots, they're really bad at dodging crossbows though considering they use bows themselves and have no idea how a crossbow works.
- Iron Golems got sick of players bullying them with 3 blocks and now they will jump up to hit those it cannot reach.
- Monsters will now hear nearly every audio cue a player makes (configurable chance, distance and investigation speed).
Configuration
Use the /aswwli command to configure and toggle each of these actions!
More will be added in the future.
Note!
Recently removed the "NeoForge" version of the mod due to incompatibility issues, it'll be reuploaded later on with a working version.
