# AdvancedMobAI

## Welcome to AdvancedMobAI!

**Give Minecraft's mob AI a new dimension!** AdvancedMobAI is a Spigot/Paper plugin that enhances the intelligence of hostile mobs, making them smarter, more tactical, and dangerous. Make survival more challenging, encourage defensive building, and surprise your players with unexpected behaviors!

**Key features** include Creepers that breach thin walls, proactively target without direct sight, and strategically explode against elevated players. **Now, Creeper explosions also have configurable friendly fire!** Enderman continue to dismantle configurable blocks to reach their targets. **And introducing Web-Shooting Spiders that can trap players in cobwebs, inflict potion effects, and pursue them with increased speed after a hit!** Everything is highly configurable via `config.yml`, allowing you to adjust distances, cooldowns, and lists of resistant/pickupable blocks, **as well as spider web shot specifics (range, effects, etc.)**. All configurations can be reloaded live using `/am reload`.

### Installation

First, ensure your server meets the requirements: **Paper, Spigot, or a compatible fork (1.20.x recommended) running Java 17 or higher**. Second, download the latest AdvancedMobAI JAR file from [**Spigot**](https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/advancedmobai.124478/). Third, place this JAR file into your server's `plugins` folder. Fourth, start or restart your server. The plugin will create a `/plugins/AdvancedMobAI/` folder containing the default `config.yml` file. Fifth, you can edit this file to customize settings. Seventh, use the `/am reload` command to apply any configuration changes without needing a full server restart.
