re: No Nametagged Peaceful Despawn
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.17–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Prevents nametagged hostile mobs from despawning in peaceful mode.
Available versions:
fabric:
1.17.x, 1.18-1.18.1, 1.18.2, 1.19.x, 1.20.x, 1.21
1.20-1.20.4 version added for java 17
1.20.x works for all 1.20 versions, but requires java 21
forge:
1.17.1, 1.18.x, 1.19.x, 1.20-1.20.2
neoforge:
1.20.2-1.20.3, 1.20.4, 1.20.5-1.20.6, 1.21
Report any bugs to the github page.
Note: drowned spawned via worldgen will not despawn. This is not a bug, The same persistance tag applied to nametagged mobs is seemingly applied to these drowned. Drowned spawned by methods other than worldgen will despawn. The worldgen drowned which do not despawn are not hostile in peaceful mode.
