It Follows - HKZR Edition
by HekZer036
It Follows - HKZR Edition turns a single hostile entity into an endless pursuer that keeps coming after the player across the world.
What it does
A creature from the mod starts following the player once it spawns, and it does not stop or lose track of the player's position. The pursuit carries over when the player changes dimension, so leaving the overworld for the Nether or the End does not end the chase. The author describes the concept as a Minecraft take on the film It Follows, and the design is aimed at Hardcore challenge runs and horror-focused modpacks.
The mod can be started by writing a particular line on a sign, and a sound plays when the entity appears, a few seconds before it begins its approach. Players get only a short head start before the chase begins. The idea was loosely based on a speedrun challenge played by the French streamer Terracid, where the goal is to defeat the dragon guarding the End before the pursuer catches up.
Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1. Only the client needs nothing extra for the server to run, since the mod requires both sides. The custom license means the mod is not open source, and the latest Forge file is version 2.0.1, released on 2026-08-08, after the first release on 2026-04-19.
Key features
Endless pursuit
The entity keeps following the player and does not give up, forcing constant movement or a fight.
Trail loss
Players can try to break the pursuit, but the entity tracks them and can find them again.
Cross-dimension chase
The pursuer follows the player through portals, so a dimension change does not remove the threat.
Sign-triggered start
The chase begins after a particular line is written on a sign, and a warning sound plays before it starts.
