Hey look, another patch for bears. It's almost like they're kind of a problem and they kinda suck mechanically.

 

Made this for my server because bears are a plague on my players and I. If you notice a problem, feel free to let me know but I have no plans to expand this and it's only published for ease of download for my players. Won't be compatible with any other mods that change bears.

 

In this patch, all bears:

  • Cannot climb skyscapers
  • Have slightly lower health
  • Are more likely to flee when hit
  • Can be outrun
  • Have shorter range for pursuing targets
  • Are audible from much further away (via idle sounds, this does not affect the new footstep sounds)
  • Spawn less often
  • Spawn further from the player

Could this mod be updated for 1.22, pretty please? Bears are still unBEARably annoying XD

Donezo. Let me know if it feels like it works, since it can be hard to tell sometimes. I'll be running it for my players as well and will fix/update if I find things aren't working.

is this mod still working on 1.21.6?

Bears are completely broken atm so thank you for this mod.

 

Whoever at VS decided to "fix" the bear AI's response to pillaring without adressing the fundamental issues the combat system currently has should be fired.

Thank you, these are sorely needed changes. It's bananas that these bastards can outrun you, once they lock in it's impossible to escape them without somehow trapping them.

I would say rather than completely disable them during winter to instead have a variant that is more aggressive.

Can you make bears stop spawning during winter to simulate hibernation? It would be an excellent addition to your mod!
