Attract to Chat – Mob Attraction by Chat Messages

Attract to Chat 2.1.2 for Minecraft 1.20.1 — optional Walkie-Chat integration: proximity chat, walkie block stations and hostile mob attacks.

• Optional Walkie-Chat integration, on by default and toggleable in-game with /atc walkiechat on|off (or the walkieChatCompat option). Requires Walkie-Chat 1.3.2 or newer.
• Mobs are attracted to proximity chat spoken through Walkie-Chat, using the effective range Walkie-Chat already resolved; walkieChatProximityRange (default 15) and walkieChatProximityCapsBonus (default 10) shape the result.
• Hostile mobs that reach an active Walkie Block station destroy it, and every player tuned to its frequency receives a "signal lost" notification in their own language.
• Chat spoken through a handheld walkie or next to an active Walkie Block is routed by Walkie-Chat and is no longer double-processed by the engine.
• /atc status reports the Walkie-Chat compatibility state when the mod is present.
• Investigation particles are now a personal choice: the old server-wide switch is gone and each player opts in with /atc client particles enable|disable. Existing configs migrate automatically.
• Forge: chat handling now listens at the lowest priority and receives canceled events, so attraction keeps working with Walkie-Chat installed.
• Attraction dedupe guard: a message relayed by Walkie-Chat through both its broadcast helper and the block relay attracts mobs only once. The guard keys on message identity and is cleared on server stop, so world reloads never leave it stuck and different messages are never swallowed.

Fabric requires Fabric API 0.92.7 or newer. Java 17 is required. Client installation is optional.
