Artificial Intelligence

[jimmis98]

Is it currently possible to create a plugin that either introduces a new mob or creates a new AI for an existing one?
If it isn't, will it be?
If there were such a plugin, would it slow the server down too much if it were to be responsible for too many mobs?

Any explanation on this topic would be most welcome.

No it's currently not possible (Or at least not on a efficient way) to create a different AI let alone a different mob/entity in Lua. It probably will be once https://github.com/mc-server/MCServer/issues/910 is finished.

It would still be problematic to implement a new mob, as adding mobs involves changes to the client. As for the AI it would have to be written carefully to avoid a performance loss.

Thanks. How much time do you think MC-Server will need to be called a full fledged alternative? I'm really eager to rid myself from the official server...
