About MonsterAITweaks
From ThunderstoreLets you tweak monster behaviour globally or for individual monsters, including whether they target players or buildings, become alerted, are tame by default, and fear or avoid fire, as well as their sight and hearing range.
This mod has two sets of config entries for the following behaviours:
not targeting players not targeting buildings not fleeing never becoming alerted starting tamed fearing fire avoiding fire
You can set these globally by setting the corresponding config variable to true.
