# Pacify Me Datapack<\/p>\n
A lightweight Minecraft datapack that lets you harmlessly disable a mob\u2019s AI using named name tags, similar in spirit to *Silence Mobs*.<\/p>\n
## Overview<\/p>\n
* Apply a name tag named `Pacify Me` to any living mob to disable its AI. The mob will stop moving, pathfinding, targeting and using abilities.
\n* Restore the mob\u2019s AI by applying a name tag named `sock` to the same mob \u2014 as in, *give dobby a sock*.<\/p>\n
## How to use<\/p>\n
1. Craft or obtain a name tag.
\n2. Rename it to `Pacify Me` in an anvil.
\n3. Right-click a mob with the renamed tag to pacify it.
\n4. To undo, rename a name tag to `sock` and apply it to that pacified mob.<\/p>\n
## Behaviour details<\/p>\n
* Pacified mobs keep their position, pose and rotation until AI is restored.
\n* Natural attributes remain unchanged. Health, armour, equipment and effects are preserved.
\n* Breeding, targeting, wandering and item pickup stop while pacified.
\n* AI is restored instantly when tagged with `sock`.<\/p>\n
## Compatibility<\/p>\n
* Works alongside most datapacks. It does not add new items or recipes, only listens for specific name tags.
\n* Functions in both single-player and multiplayer worlds.
\n **Important:** For multiplayer servers, the datapack **must be installed on the server** \u2014 it will not work if only placed on a client.
\n* Intended for vanilla mobs. Some modded entities may not be covered if they use custom AI flags.<\/p>\n
## Installation<\/p>\n
1. Drop the zipped datapack into the world\u2019s `datapacks` folder.<\/p>\n
* For single-player: place it inside your save folder.
\n * For servers: install it inside the world folder that the server uses.
\n2. Load the world, then run `\/reload` if needed.
\n3. To remove, delete it from `datapacks` and `\/reload`. Already pacified mobs will remain as they were at removal time.<\/p>\n
## Configuration<\/p>\n
* Names are case-insensitive by default: `Pacify Me` to disable, `sock` to restore.
\n* You can customise trigger words by editing the matching predicates or scoreboard checks inside the datapack functions.<\/p>\n
## Notes and limitations<\/p>\n
* Bosses and scripted encounters may behave oddly without AI. Use with care in adventure maps.
\n* Pacified mobs can still take damage from players, the environment and other sources that do not require AI.
\n* Leashes, boats and minecarts still interact normally.<\/p>\n
## Credits<\/p>\n
Inspired by the interaction pattern popularised by *Silence Mobs* datapack on Vanilla Tweaks.
