Baby mobs shouldn’t be targeted by predators (especially after new models

With the new 26W02A snapshot (1.21.12), baby mobs are extremely cute and feel more like companions than resources.

However, current AI still allows baby wolves and adult wolves to attack baby animals (sheep, pigs, etc.), and zombies also target baby mobs.

This feels wrong both emotionally and from a gameplay perspective:

Baby mobs drop no loot

Baby mobs give no XP

They are clearly designed to feel vulnerable, friendly, and lovable

Suggested improvements:

Baby wolves should be playful only (no hunting behavior)

Adult wolves should ignore baby animals

Hostile mobs should not target baby animals

Additional idea (very important):

In 1.21.12, please add a special name tag like “Do Not Grow Up”

When applied, the mob stays a baby forever

Perfect for pets, builds, farms, and roleplay

Fits the new cute models perfectly and gives players more creative control

This would greatly improve immersion, emotional connection, and gameplay consistency with the new baby mob designs.
