Apathy Mod
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.
This mod supports:
- 1.21.1: Fabric and Neoforge (ported by Calico)
- 1.20.1: Fabric and Forge
- 1.19.4: Fabric and Forge
- 1.19.2: Fabric and Forge
- 1.18.2: Fabric and Forge
- 1.17.1: Discontinued due to low adoption.
- 1.16.5: Fabric only
- Sorry, no forge 1.16.5; not possible to write nontrivial multiloader mods for it.
- Forge versions are only marked "beta" so CF displays them separately. They are not beta.
With that out of the way
Apathy is an overconfigurable port/rewrite of Apathetic Mobs. It allows you to control mob aggressiveness - whether mobs attack players.
You can:
- disable aggression entirely,
- control aggression with a rule system, where mob aggressiveness is dependent on things such as the current world difficulty or the mob's type or tags,
- use a JSON rule system to create exactly the scenario you want, including integration with the vanilla scoreboard, advancements, locations, biomes…
Additionally, you may:
- Disable the Ender Dragon and Wither fight sequences, or make them less aggressive.
- Allow players to opt-in or opt-out of PvE scenarios by adding them to player sets.
Extensive documentation is available on github.
