# Livestock Panic<\/p>\n
Livestock Panic introduces realistic survival instincts to passive farm animals. Chickens, sheep, cows, and pigs now detect nearby hostile mobs or wolves within a configurable radius and react accordingly.<\/p>\n
## Animal Behaviors<\/p>\n
– **Chickens** frantically scatter in random directions with increased speed
\n– **Sheep** group together and flee as a herd
\n– **Cows** occasionally charge and knockback smaller threats like spiders or silverfish
\n– **Pigs** squeal loudly, alerting nearby animals and potentially attracting players to investigate<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
– Animals return to normal behavior once threats leave the area
\n– Works seamlessly with vanilla breeding and farming mechanics
\n– Uses efficient scoreboard-based proximity detection
\n– Runs checks only every 20 ticks to minimize performance impact
\n– No commands required for basic functionality<\/p>\n
## Configuration<\/p>\n
Optional command `\/trigger livestock_panic_range` allows players to adjust detection radius between 8-24 blocks.<\/p>\n
## Use Cases<\/p>\n
Players can intentionally use this behavior for automated mob sorting or must consider predator threats when building farms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
