Entity Documentation - minecraft:behavior.look_at_target

Compels an entity to look at the target by rotating the head bone pose within a set limit.

Note

In 1.26.0 the schema is stricter and rejects invalid JSON. The min_look_time and max_look_time fields are deprecated and replaced by a single look_time range (with min and max). Existing uses of min_look_time / max_look_time are upgraded automatically.

Note

Requires a target in order to work properly. Entities can generate targets via one of the following behaviors:
