Summary
ScaredyVillagers is a lightweight Fabric mod that lets you configure which mobs villagers flee from and how far they flee. Configuration is done via a simple JSON file so you can tune behavior per mob without touching code.
Key Features
- Per‑mob flee distance configurable via JSON.
- Server side only — clients do not need to install the mod.
- Auto generates a default config (config/scaredyvillagers.json) on first run.
- Minimal and safe: the mixin only logs at class init; actual registry resolution and application happen after server start.
