The Fleeing Animals Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) introduces a subtle yet impactful change to how passive mobs behave when threatened. Inspired by real-world herd instincts, this lightweight Fabric mod adds group awareness to animals causing nearby mobs to panic and flee when one of them is attacked. The result is a more dynamic, immersive ecosystem where passive creatures no longer act like isolated entities but respond collectively to danger. This enhancement adds realism and challenge to hunting or survival gameplay without altering spawn rates or entity stats.
Whether you’re hunting for food or just swinging your sword a little too close to a flock, you’ll now see more believable animal behavior in the wild.
Features:
- Group Fleeing Mechanism: When one passive mob is attacked, others in close range will also begin to flee, mimicking herd behavior.
- Natural Reactions: Animals scatter in multiple directions, making hunting more engaging and realistic.
- Selective Mob Support: While most passive mobs are affected, some like horses and a few special entities are excluded to maintain balance.
- No Stat or Spawn Changes: The mod focuses solely on behavior mobs retain their vanilla health, spawn conditions, and other attributes.
- Lightweight Performance: Has minimal performance impact, making it suitable for inclusion in modpacks and large worlds.
- Immersive AI Upgrade: Makes your Minecraft world feel more alive and reactive, especially in forests, plains, or farm environments.

Why use Fleeing Animals Mod?
In vanilla Minecraft, passive mobs tend to remain indifferent even when their companions are under attack. Fleeing Animals Mod changes that by giving them a realistic, synchronized response to danger. This not only improves immersion but also makes hunting slightly more difficult and natural. If you enjoy mods that enhance game realism without overcomplicating things, this AI-focused addon is a perfect fit.
