About this Mod
Zombies Ignore LOS
A basic Minecraft Forge mod written in Java that makes it so zombies ignore line-of-sight. Meaning they can target players even if there is a wall in-between blocking their view.
This does not, however, affect pathfinding or the way zombies navigate obstacles to reach their target.
Compatible Versions
Minecraft: 1.16.5
Mod Launcher: Forge (tested on 36.2.42)
Compatibility with other mods
This mod is NOT compatible and conflicts with my Configurable Zombies AI (CZAI) mod (and the deprecated Zombies Apocalyptic AI mod too), as it also provides the feature for zombies to ignore LOS. Although by using CZAI the feature can be toggled -- whereas here it is always on no matter what.
