Entity Documentation - minecraft:behavior.look_at_entity

Compels an entity to look at a specific entity 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.

Entity Look At Entity Behavior Properties

Name	Default Value	Type	Description	Example Values
angle_of_view_horizontal	360	Integer number	The angle in degrees that the mob can see rotated on the Y-axis (left-right). Value must be <= 360.	Ravager: 45
angle_of_view_vertical	360	Integer number	The angle in degrees that the mob can see rotated on the X-axis (up-down). Value must be <= 360.
control_flags	[]	Control Flags choices
filters (Filters)	{"AND":null,"NOT":null,"OR":null,"all":null,"all_of":null,"any":null,"any_of":null,"none_of":null}	Filters item	Filter to determine the conditions for this mob to look at the entity	Evocation Illager: {"test":"is_family","subject":"other","value":"mob"}
filters (Alternate 1)	not set	Object
look_distance	8	Decimal number	The distance in blocks from which the entity will look at the nearest entity.	Evocation Illager: 8, Vex: 6
look_time	{"max":4,"min":2}	Look Time item	Time range to look at the nearest entity.
priority	0	Integer number	As priority approaches 0, the priority is increased. The higher the priority, the sooner this behavior will be executed as a goal.	Evocation Illager: 10, Vex: 9
probability	0.019999999552965164	Decimal number	The probability of looking at the target. A value of 1.00 is 100%. Value must be <= 1.	Vex: 0.02
