Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge
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 is a small lib made out of necessity that's only purpose is to make mob combat a bit more engaging. The typical way Minecraft handles melee combat is checking whether an entity is within a certain distance of another entity and dealing damage, which is kinda boring. Then of course you can apply a hitbox to every attack, but writing the code for the hitbox repeatedly becomes redundant and messy. Not to mention, they don't natively render and MC restricts hitboxes to AABBs (Axis Aligned Bounding Box).

With SentinelLib, developers can now easily define hitboxes, not just AABBs, but OBBs (Oriented Bounding Box) as well that will rotate with entity movement, apply custom functionality with ease, and can actually see their entities attack hitboxes.

Why fight a boring zombie, when you can fight a Sentinel.

 

NOTE

This mod is still very much in the beta stage, some functionalities to be implemented soon:

- Dynamic Rotational Sentinel Boxes

- Dynamic Scaling Sentinel Boxes

- Geckolib/Azurelib compatibility (GeoBone based Sentinel Boxes)
