Social Player Mobs

0.80.0

New setting to stop PlayerMobs from hunting animals

Hungry PlayerMobs hunt nearby cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, and rabbits for meat when they're low on food. That's now optional — admins can turn it off entirely if they'd rather their PlayerMobs leave the local wildlife alone.

• On by default, matching existing behaviour — toggle live with /playermob huntforfood on|off, or set huntForFood=false in the config to disable it permanently
• Turning it off mid-hunt makes the mob drop the chase immediately, even with an animal already targeted

Keep a PlayerMob near a spot or companion (stay-near tether)

PlayerMobs can now be tethered so they won't wander off. Give a mob a stay-near anchor — a fixed position or a live entity (you or another PlayerMob) — plus a radius, and it stays within it: when it drifts (or gets dragged by a fight) past the edge, it walks back, then goes right back to doing its own thing inside the ring.

• New command: /playermob stay <name> ( off | here | <pos> | <target> ) [radius] — default radius 32 blocks (1–256).
• The tether yields to combat — a mob will chase an enemy past its ring, then walk back to its anchor once the fight is over.
• The anchor survives save/load and can be baked into spawn NBT (PlayerMobData/StayNear), so summoned or egg-spawned mobs can come pre-tethered.
