Overview

minecraft:behavior.move_to_block 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 walk to a chosen kind of block and can run events when it gets there or stays a while. Use it for mobs that seek out flowers, beds or similar.
