Dynamic Stealth

Description

Mobs can hide by default.  If you want "vanilla sight" for players, set
(server settings -> senses -> use player senses)
to false.

For optifine compatibility, do the following:
1. Disable entity fading (client settings -> entity fading) by setting "min opacity" to 1 and/or "max opacity at" to 0
2. Disable targeting glow (client settings -> HUD -> targeting HUD style) by setting "glow" to false

Dynamic Stealth has an entity-specific full-bypass filter, so in theory any mob that bugs out with DS installed can be "fixed" using that config, but they won't use DS systems anymore.

I've at least done a basic official video guide.  It doesn't go through advanced features; just the basics.



Also check out Inforno's BackStab mod; it can be especially useful if you just want backstabbing without all the other stuff that comes with Dynamic Stealth


The sight system uses many factors to decide whether things see each other, and has a config option to bypass it (natural soul sight).  Factors include but are not limited to...

The AI is altered in a fairly mod-compatible way, and there is a config option to bypass it (threat bypass).  There is also a config option to force the system to detect mobs as passive/non passive if it is detecting them incorrectly (but it detects most of them correctly).  Some things the ai does:

There are some other features as well, such as...

Most things are very configurable.  There are config options to bypass or customize most systems.

It also fixes some things.  For example, vanilla mobs (and most modded mobs) can no longer see you through solid diagonal walls.

You can find a configurable graph emulating the base FOV shape (before modifiers are applied) here

Modifiers just take that shape and make it bigger or smaller, but the detection range never goes beyond Distance(Far), so if the shape is increased in size, it's cropped in a circular pattern.

Yes, you can use it in your modpack if you want (MIT license).
