Adaptive Learning AI

Mobs now react more dynamically based on how players fight and survive.
Combat encounters feel less scripted and far more responsive.

• Zombies can now adapt against shield users by attempting smarter positioning and side attacks instead of blindly rushing forward.
• Skeletons dynamically react to defensive and aggressive players:
  • Shield users trigger circular strafing behavior.
  • Charging melee players cause Skeletons to retreat earlier and faster.
• Creepers become significantly more tactical against ranged players, preferring hidden or protected approach routes when possible.

Smart Enderman AI

Endermen have received a major intelligence overhaul, turning encounters into unpredictable high-pressure fights.

• Arrow Dodging
  • Endermen may instantly 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 Survival
  • Endermen actively search for nearby dry shelter during rain or water exposure.
  • Possible shelter locations include caves, tree cover, and rooftops.
• Improved Teleport Effects
  • Teleportation visuals and sounds now play more naturally at both origin and destination points.

Village Politics & Governance System

Villages are no longer simple passive settlements.
They now function as organized political communities with leadership, reputation, and defensive coordination.

• Every village now forms a ruling council consisting of 3 high-ranking villagers.
• One member becomes the village's Supreme Leader.
• Leadership persists permanently across server restarts.

Attacking or assassinating a village leader now triggers major consequences.

• Village reputation immediately collapses into hostile status.
• Village bells ring to signal emergency response.
• Nearby Iron Golems rapidly coordinate against the attacker.
• Remaining council members automatically assume leadership.
• New council members are selected dynamically to restore governance.

• Iron Golems now actively escort and protect village leadership.
• Escorts maintain formation behind leaders while patrolling.
• Hostile entities and dangerous players are detected rapidly.
• Emergency retaliation occurs almost instantly after attacks on leadership.

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

Ways to gain reputation:

• Defeating monsters near villages.
• Donating resources and food supplies through the Community Chest system.

Ways to lose reputation:

• Attacking villagers.
• Stealing from Community Chests.
• Attacking council members or village leadership.

Other Improvements

• Expanded AI coordination across multiple mob types.
• Improved combat responsiveness and behavior transitions.
• Additional balancing and optimization work for advanced mob logic.
• Configuration support added for all major new systems.

SentientMobs 2.1.0 pushes mob intelligence and village simulation further than ever before.
Combat is smarter, villages are politically alive, and survival gameplay is far less predictable.
