A Fabric mod providing an item that repels hostile mobs and an optional global mob filter (similar to Bad Mobs for Forge).

I built this because one of my best friends has arachnophobia! I wanted to play with hostile mobs and they didn't, and they especially didn't want to see any spiders. Tested on 1.18 but likely works on older versions as well.

Recipe

Baddie-B-Gon™ Spray

Installation

Install on both client and server.

Config

Client

Use Mod Menu.

Server

Create a baddiebgon.json5 file containing the following:

{
    "effectiveDistanceSpray": 50,
    "banHostileMobRegex": ""
}

effectiveDistanceSpray determines for how far the Baddie-B-Gon™ spray item is effective.

banHostileMobRegex must be a Java-compatible regular expression based on Minecraft entity IDs. To ban all spiders and creepers, for example, use .*(spider|creeper).*.
