# Always Hostile Animals<\/p>\n
**All passive and neutral mobs become instantly hostile!**
\nThis mod turns cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, horses, goats, llamas, rabbits, parrots and many more (including modded creatures) into aggressive attackers that target players on sight.
\nPerfect for chaos survival challenges, hardcore playthroughs, or servers where _nothing_ is safe anymore.<\/p>\n
> \u26a0\ufe0f _Note:_ Aquatic mobs (fish, turtles, etc.) do not attack yet. This will be added in a future update.<\/p>\n

## \ud83e\udde9 Features<\/p>\n
* \ud83d\udd25 **Instant aggression:** Passive and neutral creatures immediately attack players.
\n* \ud83e\udde0\u00a0**Injected AI goals:** Attack and target goals are added dynamically without breaking existing mob AI.
\n* \ud83d\udca5\u00a0**Automatic attributes:** Ensures that every non-monster mob has the `generic.attack_damage` attribute.
\n* \ud83c\udf10\u00a0**Mod compatible:** Works with modded mobs that use proper categories (`CREATURE`, `AMBIENT`, `WATER_*`).
\n* \ud83e\uddf1\u00a0**Server-ready:** Fully functional on dedicated servers.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## \u274c Not affected<\/p>\n
* Hostile mobs (zombies, skeletons, etc.) \u2014 unchanged
\n* `MISC` entities (boats, minecarts, projectiles, items)
\n* Aquatic mobs in v1.0 (support planned)<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## \u2699\ufe0f Compatibility<\/p>\n
* **Minecraft:** 1.21.1
\n* **Loader:** NeoForge (21.1.x)
\n* No known incompatibilities
\n* Works in most modpacks unless another mod fully overrides AI goals<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udce6 Installation<\/p>\n
1. Install NeoForge 1.21.1<\/p>\n
2. Place the JAR into your `mods\/` folder<\/p>\n
3. Launch the game or server<\/p>\n
> For consistent behavior, use a **new world**, so newly spawned entities get the hostile AI injected correctly.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udcc4 Technical Details<\/p>\n
* Registers the `generic.attack_damage` attribute for all non-monster mobs using `EntityAttributeModificationEvent`
\n* Adds attack and target goals during `EntityJoinLevelEvent`
\n* Safety checks prevent duplicate goals or crash conditions
\n* A damage fallback ensures that mobs without an attribute still deal correct melee damage<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
## \u26a1 Performance<\/p>\n
* 100% event-driven (no tick-loop scanning)
\n* Lightweight and safe for large modpacks
\n* No noticeable performance impact<\/p>\n

**Q:** Do baby animals also attack?
\n**A:** Yes. A toggle to disable this is planned.<\/p>\n
**Q:** Why don\u2019t fish attack yet?
