+description: A guide to the Entity Pathfinder API.
+---
+
+The Entity Pathfinder API is a way of controlling the movement of entities in Minecraft. It allows you to set a path
+for an entity to follow, such as moving to a location, or following a player.
+
+## Accessing the Pathfinder
+
+To access the pathfinder for a Mob, you need to call `getPathfinder()` on the Mob. This will return an instance of `Pathfinder`.
+
+:::important
+
+The pathfinder is only available for Mobs, not for all entities.
+
+:::
+
+Lets say that we have a `Cow` and we want it to move to a specific `Player`'s location. We can do this by getting the
+pathfinder for the cow and then setting the path to the player's location:
+
+```java
+Cow cow = ...;
+Player player = ...;
+
+Pathfinder pathfinder = cow.getPathfinder();
+// moveTo returns a boolean indicating whether the path was set successfully
+boolean success = pathfinder.moveTo(player.getLocation());
+```
+
+If we want to access the current Path for the cow, we can call `getCurrentPath()` on the pathfinder:
+
+```java
+PathResult path = pathfinder.getCurrentPath();
+
+// A PathResult is essentially a wrapper around a List of Locations. These can be accessed with:
+List<Location> locations = path.getPoints();
+// It is important to note that the list contains points that have already been passed,
+// as well as future points. If you want to get the next point, you can use:
+Location nextPoint = path.getNextPoint(); // Or locations.get(path.getNextPointIndex())
+// Finally, you can access the final destination with:
+Location destination = path.getFinalPoint();
+```
+
+## Pathfinding Rules
+
+Much of the way that the Pathfinder works is dictated by the limitations of the actual entity pathfinding in Minecraft.
+For example, a Polar Bear cannot fly. This means that if you set a path for a Polar Bear to a location that is in the air,
+it will not be able to reach it.
+
+There are some attributes that can be set on the pathfinder to change the way that the pathfinder works. These are:
+- `setCanOpenDoors(boolean)`: Whether the entity can open doors.
+- `setCanPassDoors(boolean)`: Whether the entity can pass through open doors.
+- `setCanFloat(boolean)`: Whether the entity can float in water.
+These all have respective getters as well.
+
+## Stopping the Pathfinder
+
+To stop the pathfinder, you can call `stopPathfinding()` on the pathfinder. This will stop the pathfinder and clear the
+current path. You can use `hasPath()` to check if the pathfinder is currently running.

+title: Mob Goal API
+slug: paper/dev/mob-goals
+description: A guide to the Mob Goal API.
+---
+
+The Mob Goal API is a way of controlling the behaviour of mobs in Minecraft. It allows you to set a goal for a mob to perform, such as
+attacking a player, or moving to a location. It also allows you to create your own custom goals.
+
+## Registering a Goal on an Entity
+
+To register a goal on an entity, you need to create an instance of the goal and then register it with the entity:
+
+```java
+Cow cow = ...;
+Goal<Cow> goal = new ExampleGoal();
+
+server.getMobGoals().addGoal(cow, 0, goal); // 0 is the priority, lower numbers are higher priority
+```
+
+:::tip
+
+You can access the Vanilla goals from the `VanillaGoal` class. These are the goals that are used by Vanilla Minecraft.
+They are specific to each mob type, so you can't use a cow goal on a zombie for example.
+
+:::
+
+## Creating a Custom Goal
+
+To create a custom goal, you need to create a class that implements the `Goal` interface. This interface has several methods:
+- `void start()`: Called when the goal is started.
+- `void tick()`: Called every tick while the goal is running.
+- `void stop()`: Called when the goal is stopped.
+- `boolean shouldActivate()`: Called to determine if the goal should start.
+- `boolean shouldStayActive()`: Called to determine if the goal should continue running.
+- `GoalKey getKey()`: Called to get the key for the goal.
+- `EnumSet<GoalType> getTypes()`: Called to get the types of the goal.
+
+:::note[Types]
+
+The `getTypes()` method is used to determine what types of goal this is. The types are:
+- `GoalType.MOVE`: The goal moves the entity.
+- `GoalType.LOOK`: The goal changes the direction the entity is looking.
+- `GoalType.JUMP`: The goal makes the entity jump.
+- `GoalType.TARGET`: The goal changes the target of the entity.
+- `GoalType.UNKNOWN_BEHAVIOR`: The goal does something else. Used for mapping Vanilla goals.
+
+:::
+
+Here is an example of a goal that makes a camel follow a player. This is essentially the same as the `FOLLOW_MOB` in Vanilla,
+but it is a good example of how to create a goal.
+
+```java
+public class CamelFollowPlayerGoal implements Goal<Camel> {
+
+    public static final GoalKey<Camel> KEY = GoalKey.of(Camel.class, new NamespacedKey("testplugin", "camel_follow_player"));
+
+    private final Player player;
+    private final Camel camel;
+
+    public CamelFollowPlayerGoal(Player player, Camel camel) {
+        // The constructor takes the Player to follow and the Camel that is following
+        this.player = player;
+        this.camel = camel;
+    }
+
+    @Override
+    public boolean shouldActivate() {
+        // This is whether or the goal should start. In this case, we want the goal to always start so we return true.
+        // You could also return false here if you wanted to only start the goal in certain situations.
+        return true;
+    }
+
+    @Override
+    public void start() {
+        // This is called when the goal starts. In this case, we just send a message to the player.
+        player.sendMessage(text("I am following you!"));
+    }
+
+    @Override
+    public void tick() {
+        // This is called every tick while the goal is running. In this case, we make the camel move towards the player
+        // using the Pathfinder API. The 5.0 is the speed of the camel.
+        camel.getPathfinder().moveTo(player, 5.0);
+    }
+
+    @Override
+    public void stop() {
+        // This is called when the goal stops. In this case, we just send a message to the player.
+        player.sendMessage(text("I Stopped following you!"));
+    }
+
+    @Override
+    public @NotNull GoalKey<Camel> getKey() {
+        // This is the key for the goal. It is used to identify the goal and is used to determine if two goals are the same.
+        // It requires the class of the entity and a NamespacedKey. The NamespacedKey is used to identify the goal.
+        // You should use the plugin's namespace for the NamespacedKey, not Minecraft or Bukkit.
+        return KEY;
+    }
+
+    @Override
+    public @NotNull EnumSet<GoalType> getTypes() {
+        // This is used to determine what types of goal this is. In this case, we are moving the entity and changing the
+        // direction it is looking, so we return MOVE and LOOK. Return as many types as you need.
+        return EnumSet.of(GoalType.MOVE, GoalType.LOOK);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Stopping a Goal
+
+To stop a goal, you need to get the goal key and then call `stop()` on the goal:
+
+```java
+Cow cow = ...;
+// This works because our example has a public static `KEY` field
+server.getMobGoals().removeGoal(cow, CamelFollowPlayerGoal.KEY);
+
+// You can also remove Vanilla goals
+server.getMobGoals().removeGoal(cow, VanillaGoal.TEMPT);
+
+// You can also remove all goals
+server.getMobGoals().removeAllGoals(cow);
+server.getMobGoals().removeAllGoals(cow, GoalType.MOVE); // Remove all MOVE goals
+```
