A brain library for Minecraft, making the brain system easier to use and manage.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

What is this?<\/h2>\n

The brain system in Minecraft is an almost cryptic new entity AI system that Mojang introduced to handle more complex mobs, and allow for more advanced entity handling.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately Mojang’s implementation is lacking, and overly complex.<\/p>\n

Additionally, it’s also done in a rather inefficient way, which means that overall the system is not worth using in place of the existing goals system.<\/p>\n

This library aims to overhaul the brain system, making it actually usable, and configurable.<\/p>\n

Note however, that the existing goal system will still be simpler at face value – the brain system is intended for more complex interactions, but it can also be fun to experiment with.<\/p>\n

So what does SmartBrainLib do?<\/h2>\n

SBL is a multi-facet approach to the brain system, and will continue to expand and improve as I use it.<\/p>\n

Here are its main features:<\/p>\n

Auto-handles memory types<\/h3>\n

Don’t worry about having to work out which memory modules to register for your entity.<\/p>\n

Dynamic sensors<\/h3>\n

Sensors can now be dynamically configured and handled. This allows for much more advanced and flexible sensors<\/p>\n

Advanced behaviours<\/h3>\n

Utilise built-in, or create new behaviours based on an extensible behaviour class, which builds in callbacks, predication, cooldowns, and more.<\/p>\n

Runtime-safe behaviour modification<\/h3>\n

Add, remove, and modify behaviours dynamically from an existing entity.<\/p>\n

Optimisation<\/h3>\n

SBL replaces almost the entirety of the vanilla brain system’s functions, using high-efficiency functions to remove the inefficiencies in as many areas as possible of the brain. Done right, an SBL entity could be even more efficient than one using goals!<\/p>\n

Additional sensors, behaviours, and memory types<\/h3>\n

SBL builds in additional modules for use in any entity, with more to come over time.<\/p>\n

Added utility functions<\/h3>\n

As well as the expected brain functionality, SBL additionally adds additional helpers, such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Optimised level entity-getter functions<\/li>\n
  • Developer-friendly Random library<\/li>\n
  • Brain interface utility for adding\/removing brain content from non-SBL entities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How do I use it?<\/h2>\n

    The library is documented on its Wiki Page<\/p>\n
