GoatMan

GoatMan spawns as a monster that reacts to the player. It wanders, eats crops and attacks other mobs when left alone. When a player looks at it directly or comes too close, it can shift into a stalking state, then begin a chase, retreat or disappear entirely. Its behavior depends on the interaction, so no two encounters need to play out the same way.

The mod includes an abduction mechanic. Instead of always killing the player, GoatMan can grab them, take some items and leave them elsewhere with half a heart and debuffs. Repeated abductions make it more dangerous, and the chance of a fatal third abduction rises. Each abduction level fades after a few days without contact. Fabric API and Geckolib are required. Cloth Config API is optional and adds a configuration screen. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Files exist for 1.19.2, 1.20 and 1.20.1, with 3.1 as the latest Fabric file for 1.20.1 and 3.1 as the latest Forge file for 1.19.2.
