Mob Relations

As of version 1.2.0, a config option called mob_relations was introduced. This allows you to control how mobs attacking with Better Combat attacks interpret indirect targets in their attack hitbox.

JSON Format:

• mob_relations: The config option. A map of Entity IDs to mob relation maps. Entries are comma-separated.
  • An entry made of a mapping of an Entity ID to a mob relation map.
    • An Entity ID.
    • A mob relation map, in string JSON format (all quotation marks surrounding fields in this string JSON must be prefixed by a \).
      • An entry made of a mapping of an Entity ID to a target relation.
        • An Entity ID.
        • A target relation. Valid values are FRIENDLY, NEUTRAL, HOSTILE. Case is flexible.
          • Note: Currently, FRIENDLY does not do anything different than NEUTRAL, as mobs will damage their AI attack target regardless of any specified mob relation. In the future, this may change, so it is recommended to use NEUTRAL if you only want the specified mob to not be damaged indirectly.

Example:

"mob_relations": {
    "minecraft:piglin": "{
        \"minecraft:piglin\":\"NEUTRAL\",
        \"minecraft:piglin_brute\":\"NEUTRAL\"
    }",
    "minecraft:piglin_brute": "{
        \"minecraft:piglin\":\"NEUTRAL\",
        \"minecraft:piglin_brute\":\"NEUTRAL\"
    }"
}

To validate your config option entry, use JSONLint.
