Neutral Hostiles

A Datapack for Peaceful Minecraft Players who dislike monsters ruining their experience.

Credits

This Minecraft Datapack was created by Sam L., with modifications made by Natan Junges.

Some aspects of the datapack were generated with https://advancements.thedestruc7i0n.ca/

Minecraft is a game made by Mojang. https://minecraft.net

Purpose

Minecraft is a fun sandbox game, but it can get scary and annoying for some players with hostile mobs. Turing the game difficulty to peaceful just won't fix it, you can't get hostile drops like Blaze rods, and it is too easy for some players.

That's why I've made this Datapack, it allows Hostile Mobs to exist. They will not harm you until you harm them. This Datapack allows for challenges in resource gathering with hostile mobs, but have not made it too easy or impossible.

How to use

Datapacks are simple to install, simply Download the Latest Release as a .ZIP.

Put it in your world folder (Under saves/<world name>/datapacks) and use the /reload command ingame!

A message should pop up and you're ready to go!
