Hollow Steve [HORROR]
by Zynwro
Hollow Steve is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge horror boss mod in which a stalking entity hunts the player through a ten-victory campaign.
What it does
The campaign is split into five stages, named Stalker, Intruder, Hunter, Predator and Final, and each stage holds two encounters. Escaping, dying or losing resets progress, and each defeat makes the next encounter harder. Early encounters teach players to recognize his presence, while later ones bring stronger attacks, faster pursuit and searches that flank from several directions.
Hunts happen only in the Overworld, and once the campaign is underway, night-time rounds are added. Peaceful difficulty stops active hunts. The mod needs Fabric API on Fabric and Geckolib on every loader, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files cover 21 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, and are released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Five-stage campaign
Ten victories are needed across five stages, and the entity grows more persistent with each round.
Tracking and search behavior
He moves in view of the player, investigates the last known position and reacts to sprinting or breaking line of sight.
Dodge-based combat
Heavy strikes can be dodged or blocked, and solid obstacles stop melee contact from repeating damage.
Horror atmosphere
Sudden appearances, breathing, heartbeat sounds, darkness, particles and a persistent boss bar build the tension.
Shared campaign rewards
Participating players earn their own supplies, and final victory awards enchanted diamond equipment and a Totem of Undying trophy.
