Mob AI

This article describes the various components of a mob's AI that control its behavior.

Some mobs use a complex AI system called a brain. A mob's brain stores memories (data), a list of tasks that can be performed, and a list of sensors used to determine which tasks it can perform.

Sensors are used to detect if a mob with a brain can perform certain tasks. Examples of sensors include, a sensor to detect if an armadillo should be scared, a sensor to detect the nearest player, and a sensor to detect if a mob is in water.
