CANTBREATHE
by ClouddyVR
CANTBREATHE is a Forge mob mod that adds a hostile entity, which spawns rarely and reacts when a player glances at it or makes eye contact.
What it does
The mod adds CANTBREATHE, described as the embodiment of fear, who spawns at unpredictable intervals across a world. The creature detects when a player looks at it, and once spotted or caught glancing it chooses one of three behaviours, including running at full speed toward the player who looked at it. The author recommends turning music off and ambient sounds down while playing.
Installation needs Geckolib, which must be present alongside the mod. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge across 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest release, and the code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.

Use cases

Server owners can add the entity for groups who want a shared threat, since the server and players both need the mod.
Who it’s for: Players who want a horror-themed mob with a distinct line-of-sight mechanic, and server owners who want the same creature active for everyone on a server.

It is recommended you play with music off and ambient sounds turned down when playing this mod CANTBREATHE is the manifestation of all beings fears. He maliciously seeks out his victims, wishing to cause and inflict unbearable pain to them. There is no real escape from this being, and you are never truly safe.
