The Problem
In vanilla Minecraft, mobs have a fixed detection radius. As soon as you cross that invisible boundary, they instantly know your location—regardless of whether you are standing in pitch-black darkness, behind a solid wall, or two floors above them. This mod fixes that issue by giving mobs actual vision and hearing.
Core Features
-
True Line of Sight: Mobs now have realistic vision. They cannot see you through walls, and their sight is significantly reduced in the dark.
-
Dynamic Hearing: Built on Minecraft's vanilla Game Event system, mobs can now react to footsteps, broken blocks, thrown items, and other sounds instead of instantly knowing your position.
-
Alert System: If mobs hear a noise but can't see you, their internal alert level rises. They become suspicious, investigate the area, and search for the source of the sound.
-
Stealth HUD: Crouching brings up a dynamic stealth indicator above your crosshair. An eye icon shows how visible you currently are, while sound waves indicate how much noise you are making. The eye turns red once a mob has spotted you.
-
Backstabs: Sneak up behind an unaware mob to perform a devastating critical backstab. Stabby stab stab.
Technical Details & Modpack Integration
-
No Bloat: This mod focuses on one thing only. It does not add new monsters, items, weapons, or world generation.
-
Night Vision Compatibility: Mobs can make use of the vanilla Night Vision effect to spot you more easily in the dark. Spawn behavior is intentionally left untouched, allowing modpack creators to decide how and when mobs receive the effect.
-
Attributes Added: Two new attributes (
stealth:camouflageandstealth:muffling) are available for datapacks and mods. They can be used to create custom armor, enchantments, abilities, or other stealth mechanics. -
Highly Configurable: Nearly every aspect of the stealth system can be adjusted through the configuration file, including mob vision, armor noise penalties, backstab damage, and much more.
