Scarecrow

Scarecrows are utility mobs and decoration blocks that scare away mobs that go near it. They will not move, but are a great way to ambush a hostile mob. They are extremely easy to craft, and are also useful for protecting gardens from other hazards that try to ruin The Player's crops, like rabbits. They will scare away other mobs by letting out an extremely loud scream.

Behavior
Scarecrows stand still and will mostly protect the crops planted by The Player. If any mob goes near its range, the scarecrow will let out a piercing cry that will scare that mob away. If you give the Scarecrow a Brain, the radius of the shriek will increase.

Crafting
To craft a Scarecrow, you will need a tunic of any armor, a carved pumpkin, a stick, and wheat. The better the armor is, and the more wheat packed, the scarier it is.
