Gun Dweller
Gun Dweller is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds a horror creature called the Dweller, along with guns for fighting it.
What it does
The mod adds a new group of hostile creatures in the horror style, including the Gun Dweller, which players fight with firearms that the mod also adds. Some creatures are played for comedy, so the mod reads as a joke project as much as a horror one. It is built with MCreator and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with the latest file, 1.4, dated 2026-09-28. MCreatorMemFix is an optional dependency.
The mod is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is not open source. Its files are published for a single game version.
