Evil Hunter
by dregir5
Evil Hunter is a Forge horror mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 in which a new monster interrupts a ritual and the player has to banish it.
What it does
The mod carries a branching storyline whose lore is revealed gradually across the game rather than all at once. Version 3.0 reworks the earlier release with less blood, more atmosphere, new mechanics, custom music and assets. The same world can reach three different endings, so a player can try other paths without starting a new save.
The campaign covers story phases, pursuit hunts, two boss fights and an ending. Custom dimensions and set pieces, including a church chase, an interlayer and a dark forest, support the storyline. Setting enablePhases to false in the config turns the story phases off while keeping the rest of the mod. Geckolib must be installed alongside it, and the mod is published for Forge only.

improved. Version 3.0 is a complete overhaul: less blood, more atmosphere, mechanics, and a story that unfolds as you progress through the game, along with custom music and assets. The full campaign - phases, hunts, bosses, and an ending.
