💡 Photophobic Mobs
A lightweight, highly configurable Fabric mod that completely overhauls how mobs react to light and darkness.
Photophobic Mobs introduces a dynamic contrast between light-fearing monsters and shadow-dwelling stalkers, turning light sources into tactical survival tools!
🌟 Sunlit vs. Shadow Mechanics
🧟 Light-Phobic Mobs (Zombies, Skeletons, & Configurable Mobs)
- Light Avoidance: Monsters naturally retreat from illuminated blocks (torches, lanterns, glowstone, etc.) to hide in darkness.
- Fire & Lava Fear: Mobs actively pathfind away from hazardous fire and lava blocks.
- Torch Repel (Defense Mechanic): Striking a mob while holding a light source (like a Torch or Lantern) knocks them back, inflicts temporary Weakness & Slowness, and forces them into panic retreat!
🕷️ Light-Attracted Mobs (Creepers, Spiders, & Configurable Mobs)
- Nighttime Attraction: Spiders and Creepers roaming in darkness are drawn toward bright light sources at night.
- Base Invasion: Well-lit bases become primary targets if left unguarded—watch out for Creepers sneaking into your lit sanctuaries!
