AdvancedMobAI - Enhanced Mob Artificial Intelligence!

Tired of Minecraft mobs behaving predictably and simply? AdvancedMobAI is here to inject a new layer of challenge and realism into your survival experience by enhancing the artificial intelligence of the creatures lurking in your world!

This plugin focuses on revising and expanding the capabilities of hostile mobs, making them smarter, more dangerous, and more aware of their surroundings. Get ready to face enemies that think and react in unexpected ways!

Current Features (1.1 Beta):
Currently, AdvancedMobAI significantly enhances the behavior of Creepers, Enderman, and Spiders:

Creepers:

• Wall Breaching AI: No more hiding behind thin walls! If a Creeper detects you but lacks direct line of sight, it will attempt to breach non-resistant walls by exploding near them to reach you.
• Proactive Targeting: Creepers will no longer wait passively. If a player enters their close detection range, an idle Creeper will lock onto the target and begin the chase even if they can't see you directly!
• Pillar Explosion AI: Did you climb a pillar to avoid a Creeper? Bad idea! If you are nearby horizontally but elevated and unreachable, the Creeper might decide to explode anyway to try and knock you down or damage you.
• Mob Protection (Configurable Friendly Fire): Explosions from normal (non-charged) Creepers can now be configured to prevent harm to other Creepers, Zombies, Skeletons, or Spiders (and their variants). This allows you to control "friendly fire" within the mob horde.

Enderman:

• Dismantler AI: Enderman are now tactical demolitionists! If a block obstructs their direct path to you, they will attempt to remove it to clear their way. The blocks they remove are dropped as items on the ground.

Spiders:

• Web-Shooting Spiders: Spiders now actively engage targets at range by launching web projectiles!
  • Web Traps: If a web shot impacts near you, it will instantly create a cobweb block to trap you.
  • Capture Effects: If you get caught in the cobweb, you'll suffer additional potion effects (configurable) that leave you vulnerable. Effects are applied only after a short delay to ensure you're truly stuck.
  • Aggressive Pursuit: Once a spider successfully hits a player with a web, it will immediately mark that player as its primary target and gain a temporary speed boost to quickly close the distance and attack!

Fortify your defenses! With these new abilities, mobs will truly test your constructions. Finally, using genuinely strong blocks like iron, obsidian, or tinted glass will not just be useful, but necessary to protect your base from sieges and demolitions!

Highly Configurable:
You are in control! Almost every feature can be enabled, disabled, and fine-tuned through the config.yml file. Modify distances, cooldown times, lists of resistant or pickupable blocks, spider web shot settings (including range, cooldowns, web duration, and potion effects), and much more to tailor the challenge to your server!

Commands & Permissions:

• /am reload (or /advancedmobai reload): Reloads the plugin's configuration without needing a server restart.
• Permission: advancedmobai.reload (Assigned to OPs by default).

Current Status & Future:
This plugin is under active development. It currently focuses on Creepers, Enderman, and Spiders, but there are plans to expand these AI enhancements to many other hostile mobs in future updates!

Install AdvancedMobAI and rediscover the challenge of Minecraft survival with smarter, more dangerous mobs!
