Zombie Awareness Mod — Guide

The Sense System

The core of the mod is the 'Sense' system. When a player performs a triggering action, the mod spawns an invisible Sense Entity at that location. Hostile mobs within range will detect these entities and use them as waypoints for pathfinding, even if they cannot see the player directly.

Sense Decay

Senses are not permanent. They decay over time, simulating the way a mob might 'forget' a sound or lose a scent trail. Mobs will prioritize the most recent or strongest senses, meaning a continuous noise (like a running piston) will keep them focused on a specific area longer than a single block break.
