Eyeless Jack (Horror)
by AikoChan
Eyeless Jack is a Forge mobs mod for 1.20.1 that adds a single horror entity, a nocturnal stalker drawn from the creepypasta character of the same name.
What it does
Eyeless Jack is the only mob the mod adds. It lurks in shadows and moves toward players mostly at night, approaching without warning before it launches its attacks, so encounters stay tense and hard to predict. The mod is built around this one entity rather than a set of monsters, which keeps the content focused on the creature's presence and behavior.
The mod is a Forge build for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it needs GeckoLib to play its animations and enhanced entity behavior. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player must run it. The code and assets are All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Nocturnal stalking
Eyeless Jack moves through the dark and approaches players quietly, most often at night.
Unpredictable behavior
Its movement and timing vary from encounter to encounter, so each approach is hard to anticipate.
Lethal attacks
After it closes in, Eyeless Jack launches attacks meant to be deadly for the player.
Minimalist horror
The single entity is the only added content, pushing the game toward a survival horror scenario.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Survival horror playthroughs
Players who want a single frightening threat in an otherwise vanilla survival world can add the mod and let the entity appear at night.
Horror server events
Server owners running scary-themed events can use the mob as a recurring threat, since it works alone with no extra items to set up.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want a single, focused horror mob on Forge 1.20.1, with GeckoLib installed alongside.
How it compares
Hollow Presence is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that also runs on client and server and is All rights reserved, but it is a broader presence-based horror addition. Nocturnia is another Forge 1.20.1 mod under All rights reserved that shares the same client and server environment. Jack o'Cache covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.2 and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, while Eyeless Jack targets 1.20.1 only under All rights reserved.
