SentientMobs 2.1.0

Adaptive Learning, Smart Enderman & Village Politics Update

SentientMobs 2.1.0 massively expands mob intelligence, adaptive combat behavior, and village simulation systems. This update focuses on making the world feel reactive, coordinated, and far less predictable.

---

Adaptive Learning AI

Mobs now dynamically respond to player combat styles instead of relying on fixed behavior patterns.

Zombies

• Zombies can adapt against shield users by repositioning and attempting side attacks.
• Combat pressure now feels more aggressive even without large hordes.

Skeletons

• Skeletons react differently depending on player behavior:

  • Shield users trigger circular strafing patterns.
  • Charging melee players cause Skeletons to retreat earlier and faster.

Creepers

• Creepers now behave more tactically against ranged players.
• Players using bows, crossbows, or tridents may notice Creepers preferring hidden or safer approach paths.

---

Smart Enderman AI

Endermen have received a full intelligence overhaul.

Arrow Dodging

• Endermen may teleport behind players when targeted with ranged weapons.

Melee Flanking

• During close combat, Endermen can reposition around players to attack from unexpected angles.

Rain & Water Shelter

• Endermen actively search for dry locations during rain or water exposure.
• Possible shelter includes caves, rooftops, and tree cover.

Improved Teleport Effects

• Teleport visuals and sounds now play naturally at both origin and destination points.

Village Politics & Governance System

Villages are now structured political communities with leadership, reputation, and coordinated defense systems.

Village Council System

• Every village forms a council consisting of 3 high-ranking villagers.
• One villager becomes the Supreme Leader.
• Leadership data persists across server restarts.

Political Takeovers

Attacking village leadership now triggers serious consequences:

• Village reputation instantly collapses into hostile status.
• Bells ring across the village.
• Nearby Iron Golems coordinate against the attacker.
• Remaining council members automatically assume leadership.
• New council members are selected dynamically.

Iron Golem Escort System

• Iron Golems can now escort and protect village leaders.
• Escorts actively scan for hostile mobs and dangerous players.
• Emergency retaliation is nearly instant after leadership attacks.

---

Reputation System

Villages now remember player actions.

Reputation	Status	Effects
50 to 100	Friendly	Normal trading and positive relations
-20 to 49	Neutral	Standard village behavior
-50 to -21	Suspicious	Villages begin monitoring players
-100 to -51	Hostile	Trading blocked and Golems attack on sight

Ways to Increase Reputation

• Defeat monsters near villages.
• Donate valuable resources and food supplies through Community Chests.

Ways to Lose Reputation

• Attack villagers.
• Steal from Community Chests.
• Attack council members or village leadership.

Additional Improvements

• Improved AI coordination across multiple mob types.
• Smoother combat behavior transitions.
• Expanded configuration support for advanced systems.
• General balancing and optimization improvements.

SentientMobs 2.1.0 transforms survival encounters into adaptive, reactive systems where mobs learn, villages organize, and the world responds to player actions.
