And Then it Oinks and Runs Away
by EvanTheLice
And Then it Oinks and Runs Away turns some placed and natural blocks into disguised animals that flee when struck, a joke built on a Russian TikTok meme about old Minecraft PE add-ons.
What it does
Occasionally a block a player places turns into a living mob instead of staying a block, and a small share of blocks in the world hide mobs the same way. Each disguised animal squeals when hit, shows damage particles, and after five or more hits runs off and makes animal sounds. Killing one drops nothing, and the mobs can persist as pets.
The mod is built for Fabric 1.20.1 only, and it needs Fabric API. Both the server and every player need the mod, so it is a client and server install. It is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the work in the public domain and is not open source in the license sense. Its latest file, 1.0.0, was published on 2026-01-19, the same day the project was first released.

Escape after repeated hits

Use cases
Pranks on a server
Server owners can scatter disguised animals around a shared world so players are caught out by blocks that move.
Who it’s for: Players who want a light joke mod for survival or creative worlds, and server owners who want an unserious addition that both sides can run together.
How it compares
OneHitKill is Fabric-only for 1.20.1, server-side only and not open source under the MIT License, so clients need nothing extra. Animals Run From You is also Fabric and 1.20.1 only, server-side only, and open source under the MIT License, so players join without installing it. Mob Death Sounds is a Fabric client-side only mod for 1.20.2 – 1.21 under CC0 1.0 Universal, and it changes sounds rather than mob behaviour.

What the author says
A mod based on a popular Russian TikTok meme, making fun of old Minecraft PE add-ons where furniture was actually mobs in disguise. Placed Blocks: - 5% chance that any block you place spawns as a living mob instead - It runs away and makes animal sounds... And doesn't drop anything even if you kill it.
