I replaced Minecraft’s mob AI with a biologically accurate Fruit Fly ( Drosophila ) Spiking Neural Network (SNN) I’ve been working on a custom Fabric mod called FlyBrainAi that completely replaces the vanilla, blocky Minecraft pathfinding with a biological Spiking Neural Network (SNN) inspired by the Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) connectome. Instead of standard A* pathfinding and static Goal logic, mobs now operate purely on membrane potentials, leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons, and multi-sensory feedback loops . Key Features: Saccades & Chaotic Kinematics: Mobs no longer walk in straight, robotic paths. They navigate using sharp micro-angle deviations ( saccades ), sudden jittering when idle due to simulated neural noise, and instant directional lunges. Realistic FOV & Occlusion Raycasting: Mobs have a restricted 120° visual field. If you sneak up directly behind them or hide behind blocks, they won't magically know where you are. Looming Stimulus & Panics: Close-range threats trigger an instantaneous escape jump ( looming response ), bypassing high-level decision-making for raw instinct. Auditory & Tactile Perception: Sprinting near mobs builds sensory voltage even ou
