Passive Mobs Mod FAQ

The mod works immediately after installation—all hostile mobs become passive by default. If you want certain mobs to stay hostile, you'll need to set up a data pack using the tag system, but basic gameplay requires no configuration.

Use the data pack tag system to tag mobs you want to remain hostile. The mod respects these tags, so tagged mobs will attack you normally while others stay peaceful.

Yes, you can kill passive mobs and they'll drop their normal loot just like hostile mobs would. This lets you farm materials like gunpowder, bones, and string without combat risk.

The mod only affects mob-to-player aggression; mobs may still interact with each other based on their vanilla behaviors, but they won't attack you.

The mod targets Minecraft's built-in hostile mobs; compatibility with modded mobs depends on how those mods are coded and may require additional configuration or patches.

You'll need to restart your world or use commands to reload data packs if you want to change which mobs are passive or hostile mid-game.

The mod overrides normal difficulty-based mob behavior, so mobs stay passive regardless of your difficulty setting unless you've tagged them as hostile.

Yes, mobs spawn normally; they're just peaceful when they encounter you instead of attacking on sight.

Yes, the mod works on multiplayer servers, though all players will experience the same passive mob behavior unless the server uses different data pack configurations.

The mod is lightweight since it removes aggression checks rather than adding complex new systems, so performance impact should be minimal on most setups.
