by PigGold16

Howling Beast Mod W.I.P brings a horror creature called the Howling Beast into Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge worlds, appearing at night in the overworld.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

The Howling Beast spawns only at night in the overworld. Its body is five times the height of a player, and it chases a player who gets close to it. When its health runs low it lets out a jumpscare, and it makes a sound as it appears. Once killed, it drops loot.

The mod also includes a block-breaking ability: the creature can break a dome-shaped area of blocks sized 16 by 16 around itself. Because the project is a work in progress, the content may change in later builds. The mod needs Geckolib, which must be installed beside it on Forge for 1.20.1. The latest Forge file is build 5 for 1.20.1, dated 2024-09-17 on the beta channel. The code is under All rights reserved and is not open source.
