Entity Documentation - minecraft:behavior.hold_ground

Compels an entity to stop at their current location, turn to face a mob they are targeting, and react with an event.

Note

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

• minecraft:behavior.nearest_attackable_target
• minecraft:behavior.hurt_by_target

Hold Ground Behavior Properties

Name	Default Value	Type	Description	Example Values
broadcast	false	Boolean true/false	Whether to broadcast out the mob's target to other mobs of the same type.	Pillager: true
broadcast_range	0	Decimal number	Range in blocks for how far to broadcast.	Pillager: 8
min_radius	10	Decimal number	Minimum distance the target must be for the mob to run this goal.	Pillager: 10
priority	not set	Integer number	As priority approaches 0, the priority is increased. The higher the priority, the sooner this behavior will be executed as a goal.	Pillager: 5, 6
within_radius_event	not set	Minecraft Event Reference	Event to run when target is within the radius. This event is broadcasted if broadcast is true.	Pillager: {"event":"minecraft:ranged_mode","target":"self"}
