BetterCats Overview

  • Cats stay calm near players (flee goal removed) but will automatically hunt nearby creepers and endermen within ~16 blocks. Damage is intentionally low: 0.5 vs creepers and 0.2 vs endermen. Creepers and endermen cannot damage cats at all.
  • Applies to both tamed and untamed cats; other mobs are unaffected. Behavior is attached to existing cats on load and to new cats as they appear.

Cat Armor

  • New item: Cat Armor (uses the leather horse armor model). Crafting recipe:
    L I L
    L S L
    L L
    where L=Leather, I=Iron Ingot, S=String. Appears under equipment recipes.
  • Equip by right-clicking a cat with the armor in hand/off-hand. Consumed in survival; drops from the cat on death.
  • Effects: +3 hearts max health bonus and ~40% damage reduction for the armored cat.

Gameplay Notes

  • Cats keep awareness enabled so they will still move/attack normally while staying calm around players.
  • Goal scheduling scans for targets roughly once per second to keep performance light.
