## Overview<\/p>\n

Freeze Mobs is a lightweight datapack that allows players to immobilize entities using vanilla mechanics. It is designed for survival utility or creative building.<\/p>\n

## Mechanics<\/p>\n

Freezing: Rename a name tag to “freeze me” and apply it to a mob. The entity will lock in its current coordinate and rotation by having its AI disabled (NoAI). If succesful the mob will be named “frozen”.<\/p>\n

Unfreezing: Apply a name tag renamed “unfreeze me” to restore normal AI behavior. If succesful the mob will be named “unfrozen”.<\/p>\n

You can rename the mob to something else after freezing it; the freeze effect will persist.<\/p>\n

## Technical Limitations<\/p>\n

Does not affect the Ender Dragon, Wither, or Warden to prevent progression exploits.<\/p>\n

Frozen mobs cannot move, fall, or rotate, but they retain their hitboxes and can still take damage, die, or be put in minecarts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
