AquaPhobia
by G-TECH
AquaPhobia adds a salmon-like water creature that hunts nearby players, pulls them underwater and drowns them, and it spawns near rivers, lakes and oceans.
What it does
The creature appears in water near rivers, lakes and oceans and moves toward players who are close by. Once it reaches a victim it pulls them beneath the surface, and a player who cannot escape the grip is drowned. The threat is built around that chase, so the mod is aimed at players who want a frightening survival experience rather than a combat challenge.
The atmosphere relies on creepy sounds and a horror tone that accompany the hunt. The mod is a Forge add-on for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with the latest file, 1.0.0, targeting 1.20.1. Both the server and every player need it, because the creature's behavior runs on the server and the sounds and visuals are played on each client.
Installation requires only Forge for the listed game versions. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source, so the source is not published for public modification.

How it compares
The Man From The Fog is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 that is also client and server, but it is all rights reserved rather than MIT licensed. The Dager is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, also client and server and all rights reserved. Nocturnia is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, client and server and all rights reserved, so it does not cover 1.19.2.
