Toned Down Predators

<h1>Toned Down Predators</h1> <p>Wolves and bears are still dangerous, but you have more time to notice them and get out of their way. Black and brown bears warn before charging, hungry wolves let you get closer before hunting you, and torches and campfires can keep some predators at a distance.</p> <h2>Configuration</h2> <p>Use either <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/configlib">ConfigLib</a> or <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/configkit">ConfigKit</a> to change settings in-game. Both are optional. You can also edit <code>ModConfig/toneddownpredators.json</code>, created when you first load a world with the mod. For multiplayer, edit the server's file. Restart the world or server after changing settings.</p> <p>The comparisons below use vanilla <strong>1.22.7</strong> and this mod's default settings.</p> <h2>Wolves</h2> <p>Well-fed wolves leave you alone unless you attack them. Hungry wolves start hunting you within <strong>5 blocks</strong> in warmer weather or within <strong>25 blocks</strong> at <strong>-5&deg;C or colder</strong>.</p> <table style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 12px 0 20px;" cellpadding="10"> <thead> <tr> <th style="padding: 10px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; background-color: #e8e0d2; color: #302b24; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Hunting and movement</th> <th style="padding: 10px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; background-color: #e8e0d2; color: #302b24; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Vanilla</th> <th style="padding: 10px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; background-color: #e8e0d2; color: #302b24; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">TDP's defaults</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Hungry wolf's player detection in warmer weather</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Up to 15 blocks</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">5 blocks</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Hungry wolf's player detection at -5&deg;C or colder</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">25 blocks</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">unchanged</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Running speed when chasing</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">0.045</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">unchanged</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Running speed when fleeing</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">0.052</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">unchanged</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Wolves spawn less often and are restricted to denser, colder forests.</p> <table style="width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 12px 0 20px;" cellpadding="10"> <thead> <tr> <th style="padding: 10px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; background-color: #e8e0d2; color: #302b24; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Spawning</th> <th style="padding: 10px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; background-color: #e8e0d2; color: #302b24; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Vanilla</th> <th style="padding: 10px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; background-color: #e8e0d2; color: #302b24; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">TDP's defaults</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">World-generation spawn rate</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">0.07</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">0.035 (50% lower)</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Ongoing spawn chance</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">0.0002</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">0.0001 (50% lower)</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Population limit used for ongoing spawning</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">5</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">4</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Minimum forest cover</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">0.5</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">0.6</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">Maximum habitat temperature</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">15&deg;C</td> <td style="padding: 8px 12px; border: 1px solid #9b9285; text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">12&deg;C</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Habitat restrictions apply both when terrain is generated and when wolves spawn later. The population setting limits further spawning. It does not make every pack contain four wolves.</p> <h2>Bears</h2> <p><strong>Black and brown bears defend their territory instead of hunting you for food.</strong>
