Ghillie’s Monsters Break Torches

Hostile Mob Torch Breaker Datapack

This datapack introduces a new ability for hostile mobs, allowing them to break torches and extinguish campfires. It was designed to enhance the challenge of my hardcore survival modpack.

Features:
1.Hostile Mobs Affected:

• Zombie
• Husk
• Skeleton
• Stray
• Drowned
• Zombified Piglin

2.Behavior:

• Every 10 seconds, the datapack choses 3 random entities of each type from the list above.
• It searches for torches and campfires within a 3x3x3 block cube around each chosen entity.

3.Torch Breaking and Campfire Extinguishing:

• Torches drop as items when destroyed.
• A distinct sound plays when a torch is broken or a campfire is put out.

Important Notes:

1. This datapack simply replaces nearby blocks around zombies, without adding any custom animations or modifying AI behavior.
2. In the future, I plan to add configuration options for:

• Adding new mobs to the list.
• Changing the chance of torch destruction.
• Disabling specific features.
