How can i increase the range a mob can see you from

how would i go about making a custom mob be able to spot and track you from over 16 blocks away (to be specific 128 blocks). i have tried adding a target selector in the config of the zombie but that hasn't worked. i used this to add the target selector this.targetSelector.a(2, new PathfinderGoalNearestAttackableTarget(this, EntityHuman.class, 128.0F, 0, true));. i have also tried over-riding the findTarget method, but that hasn't worked either.

Code:

@Override
    protected Entity findTarget() {
        EntityHuman entityhuman = this.world.findNearbyVulnerablePlayer(this, 128.0D);
 
        return entityhuman != null && this.n(entityhuman) ? entityhuman : null;
    }

 

You should probably try creating a custom mob by extending the entity
