Neutral Hostiles

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 1.19.4Newest
Minecraft 1.19–1.19.3
Minecraft 1.16–1.16.5

⬇ Download for 1.19.4 ⬇ Download for 1.19–1.19.3 ⬇ Download for 1.16–1.16.5

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Neutral Hostiles

A Datapack for Peaceful Minecraft Players who dislike monsters ruining their experience.

Purpose

Minecraft is a fun sandbox game, but it can get scary and annoying for some players with hostile mobs.

Turing the game difficulty to peaceful just won't fix it, you can't get hostile drops like Blaze rods, and it is too easy for some players.

That's why I've made this Datapack, it allows Hostile Mobs to exist. They will not harm you until you harm them.

This Datapack allows for challenges in resource gathering with hostile mobs, but have not made it too easy or impossible.

How to use

Datapacks are simple to install, simply download the latest release that matches your version. Put it in your world folder (Under saves//datapacks) and use the /reload command ingame!

A message should pop up and you're ready to go!
