# Stop mob movement<\/p>\n
This datapack stops a mob from moving when you name it “static”.<\/p>\n
This datapack does **not** disable the mob\u2019s AI. The mob can still look around and interact with the world, but it will not walk away.<\/p>\n
## When to use this<\/p>\n
– Keep mobs in place for decoration builds.
\n– Transport villagers to their ~~cage~~ work station.
\n– Hold a mob in place without fences, blocks, or boats.<\/p>\n
## How to use<\/p>\n
### Stop a mob<\/p>\n
1. Get a name tag.
\n2. Rename the name tag to `static` in an anvil.
\n3. Use the name tag on the mob.<\/p>\n
### Let a mob move again<\/p>\n
1. Get a name tag.
\n2. Rename the name tag to any name **except** `static`.
\n3. Sneak (hold Shift), then use the name tag on the mob.<\/p>\n
After you make a mob static, you can rename it without removing the effect. Use the name tag on the mob while you are **not** sneaking.<\/p>\n
## Configure mobs that cannot be stopped (blacklist)<\/p>\n
You can block specific mob types from being stopped. This helps prevent players from using the datapack on mobs you want to keep mobile.<\/p>\n
1. Open this file in the datapack:
\n – `mobstopper\/data\/mobstopper\/tags\/entity-type\/blacklist.json`
\n2. Add the entity IDs you want to blacklist.
\n3. Save the file, then reload your datapack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
