Lazy AI optimizes Minecraft’s AI calculations to improve performance with as minimal gameplay impact as possible.
Lazy AI dynamically reduces the frequency and precision of mob AI calculations based on their distance from players. Mobs close to players behave normally, while those farther away update their goals, pathfinding, and other goals less often. This ensures smoother performance, especially in mob-heavy worlds.
Important
Lazy AI bases its distance calculations of the simulation distance * distance scaling of your game
Warning
Lazy AI requires fabric api
- Distance-based AI scaling | Reduces AI updates for mobs that are far from players
- Pathfinding optimization | Simplifies A* path calculations at long distances
- Reduced goal frequency | Look, wander, and tempt goals run less often when distant
- Configurable behavior | Easily balance performance and gameplay through a simple config accessible through mod menu
- Server-wide improvement | Decreases tick load even on servers
- AI Optimization Type | This settings controls how aggressive the optimizations should be
- Distance Scaling | This setting controls what % range of your simulation distance is considered close and far range
- Mob Tempting Delay | This setting controls how much delay animals have to being tempted by an item
- Disable Zombie Egg Stomping | This setting controls the prevention of zombies wanting to destroy turtle eggs

You need Fabric
