Universal Anger for Neutral Mobs

Make angered mobs attack any nearby player

✅ Verified for Java 26.2 · Bedrock 26.32 — checked June 2026

With universal anger on, provoked neutral mobs (zombified piglins, bees, wolves, endermen) attack the nearest player rather than only the one who angered them. Chaotic on multiplayer servers — one friend punches a piglin, everyone pays.
