Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
`next_xz`	integer	`5`	How far sideways the next wander spot can be from the current one.
`next_y`	integer	`3`	How far up or down the next wander spot can be from the current one.
`min_wait_time`	number	`3`	Shortest wait in seconds before picking a new wander spot.
`max_wait_time`	number	`0`	Longest wait in seconds before picking a new wander spot.
`max_travel_time`	number	`60`	Seconds the mob tries to reach the village edge before giving up.
`speed_multiplier`	number	`1`	Speed multiplier while exploring. 1.0 keeps normal speed.
`explore_dist`	number	`5`	How many blocks past the village border the mob may go.
`min_perimeter`	number	`1`	The village must be at least this big around for the goal to run.
`min_dist_from_target`	number	`2.25`	How close the mob must get to count as arrived.
