Hello, Id like to figure out How I can find players that are near a mob to add them as a target when a mob spawns, to do this I need to get a player inside creature spawn event. How could I do this?

#

It takes a predicate

how could I use a predicate in this situation?

Read the docs

how would I get the player object for the predicate?

#

You get the entity object

#

And check if it is a player

#

after checking if it is a player how do I get the player object from the collection?

#

Loop over each element and it should be a player
