AI Target Selectors

Target selectors determine what entities the mob will target for attack. They work alongside goal selectors to create intelligent mob behavior.

Usage​

AITargetSelectors:
  - clear           # Remove vanilla targeting
  - hurtby          # Target whoever attacks us
  - players         # Target nearby players

Available Target Selectors​

clear​

Removes all default target selectors. Always use this first to prevent vanilla behavior from conflicting.

hurtby / hurtbytarget / attacker​

Target the entity that last damaged this mob. This is reactive - the mob won't attack until provoked.

Aliases: hurtby, hurtbytarget, attacker, damager

players / player​

Actively target nearby players. The mob will seek out and attack players within range.

Aliases: players, player, nearestplayer, nearestattackable, nearest

Parameters:

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
rangenumber16Detection range in blocks
ignorelineofsightbooleanfalseIf true, can target players through walls

Example:

AITargetSelectors:
  - clear
  - players{range=24;ignorelineofsight=true}

monsters / monster​

Target nearby hostile mobs (zombies, skeletons, etc.)

villagers / villager​

Target nearby villagers

irongolem / iron_golem​

ownerhurt​

For tamed mobs: target whoever hurt the owner

ownerhurtby​

For tamed mobs: target whoever the owner is attacking

animals / animal​

Target nearby passive animals

nearestcreature / nearestentity​

Target the nearest living entity of any type

Priority​

Selectors are processed in order with auto-incrementing priority. Lower numbers = higher priority.

AITargetSelectors:
  - clear
  - 0 hurtby    # Priority 0 (highest)
  - 1 players   # Priority 1

Line of Sight​

By default, mobs need line of sight to target entities. If your mob isn't targeting players:

  1. Ensure the mob has clear view to the player
  2. Or add ignorelineofsight=true to the selector
