Overview

minecraft:behavior.fire_at_target is an entity component: it goes in the components object of a custom mob, or in one of its component groups. AI goal that makes the mob shoot a projectile at its target after a short wind-up, like a breeze. Its anchor and offset settings replace the ones in the projectile.
