Drag a fox to literal hell and back and you may find it achieves a somewhat more worldly outlook on things and then hurriedly devotes itself to a more monastic life.
But hey, the upside is you get to tell it what to do with its time once it does, using the power of in-game programmable behaviour trees!

Just foxes for the moment but I've also got plans to offer enlightenment for wolves and goats and probably other animals after that
Goats will probably make rather durable bodyguards

How do u offer “englightenment” <:yeefuckinhaw:592017088940343327>
You craft a little necklace called a Periapt O' Prescience, which you right-click on the fox (first image). The fox then has a little data object tracking their accomplishments (currently mainly interdimensional travel), and when conditions are met they transform into their enlightened form.

Omg that is absolutely genius i love it

nooooooooooo don't kill the foxie
God I love foxes. It's weird if u wake up early or walk around at night in my city they sometimes walk by and u never expect it
tamed foxes are cute af as well and so expressive

All the better then if you can have them around your base doing all your chores 😄

Or having them as emergency food

Currently working to make the tree UI actually look pretty and then I'll hopefully have a beta version out this week

Opened up a mod page for CurseForge (Modrinth in a little bit) since this project has now entered a formal and stable Alpha stage. Visible at the rate of moderator approval.

Very basic start but trying to make the tree UI look a little less data science-y by sort of evoking illuminated manuscript aesthetics. Need to make the connector lines less direct.
(not final textures, just ripped the warped vine texture for testing)
hoary moon
oooo neat
rose smelt
Not quite finished but the connector lines are certainly looking a lot prettier even with temporary textures

this looks like the agent ui from what i have seen in screenshots

The Agent uses a very similar AI system with a Code::Blocks-style interface in a lot of cases

I’d want to edit a foxes AI to become an Enderman

Currently there's quite a laundry list of planned options for conditions and leaf nodes. Things such as picking up items, equipping items, dropping items, using items on an entity or position, retrieving and storing items in inventories, a suite of different attack actions (melee, bow, potion, etc), and of course breaking and placing blocks. More specific actions like teleportation will likely be reserved for distinct tricksy mobs as part of an effort to differentiate them from one another. A wolf's available actions should differ from a goat's, for instance. The objective is that almost any automation need will be possible through some combination of nodes.
A diverse array of conditions and getter functions will allow the mobs to retrieve a whole plethora of information from both the world around them as well as variables in their memory, like the kind of block at a position and whether a crop is ready for harvest.
The infrastructure for adding all of that is already operational, I'm just focusing on the vital smaller details before I get distracted by them.
One particularly interesting detail I have planned is barks, temporary values that are visible above the mob's head like exclamation points and question marks, which will be indexed and accessible by other mobs. This will allow a mob to perform an action (barking) that can then affect the AI of other mobs that can see it.

Some significant upgrades to tree readability and editing planned for next version
Custom names and a toggle to show child nodes, per node

This should certainly make editing nodes a lot easier...

I promise I had this block planned days before the crafter was announced but I'm fully aware everyone will inevitably think I'm just copying vanilla anyway 😔
I wanted to add some kind of auto-crafter because adding a crafting node to the behaviour tree system would be a massive can of worms to actually implement and would probably be incredibly limited to the point that people probably would never use it anyway.

Next up: The Clockwork Friar, an homage to both the Mechanical Turk and the Automaton of a Friar
Pros: Doesn't need its crafting components piped in (it can draw them directly from neighbouring inventories), retains a recipe to craft instead of them needing to be generated based on items in slots, can be triggered with a simple right-click on either of its blocks
Cons: It's a two-tall block, takes a second to craft anything, and does not deposit directly in inventories
Where the work table excels in compacting and redstone automation, the friar is definitely intended to be an aesthetic on-demand crafter, and also greatly streamlines efforts to get foxes to craft things since they just need to activate it and then pick up the result.

Latest: Added a /tricksy command which can instantly enlighten a fox as well as manage its accomplishments. Accomplishments needed to become enlightened are now a configurable datapack element, allowing me to actually put the other 14 so-far-unused accomplishments to use.

Now this certainly has a lot of potential...
