Custom Entity – The Stalker
Custom Entity – The Stalker adds a horror entity that hunts players, with idle, watching, stalking and chasing states, jumpscares and an optional premium build.
What it does
The mod adds a stalking entity driven by a horror AI plugin. The entity moves through several dynamic states, from idle and watching to stalking and chasing, and it actively tracks the players it targets. A weeping-angel style mechanic makes it freeze when a player looks directly at it, and its advanced pathfinding keeps it moving toward targets. Combat effects include melee attacks with knockback, lightning strikes, camera shake and jumpscares.
The mod is built for Fabric and Forge and requires Fabric API on Fabric. Its settings are reached through an in-game client menu, so no config file needs editing, and the mod can be run on a Paper server as well. Settings are sent to the server automatically, and changing them on a multiplayer server requires operator permissions. Files cover 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
