Aquatic Mobs

[ktclarke]

Let's be honest, nothing is more amusing than seeing a player killed by angry cod. Hilarious.

I would love an added rule in the config to limit aquatic targeting to only players in the water. This would both bring a false sense of calm to the water (until you fall in...) and would prevent the obvious farming exploit of safely standing at the shoreline and attacking the aggressive fish.

Thanks more the suggestion. We'll have a look at it. It's not a high priority, since the acquisition distance can be set to effectively limit attacks to being in (or very near) the water.

Part A: This should be the default. This requires code changes to make it true.

Part B: Make it aconfigurable option. This requires additions to config.yml and code to support them.

defaults:
...
  attack-only-in-water: true       # If true, aquatic mobs attack only if the targeted player is in the water with them
...
