Killers Beware
Killers Beware, a NeoForge mod for 1.21.4, brings the weapons, perks and useful blocks of Dead by Daylight into Minecraft.
What it does
The mod is based on the asymmetric horror game Dead by Daylight and aims to add many of its mechanics, weapons, abilities, perks and objects. It is not affiliated with Behaviour Interactive, the publisher of that game, and its content is built around the game's killer role.
Players reach the killer-style content through a perk equip menu opened by pressing P, where frightening killer perks can be chosen. A separate set of killer weapons and tools is part of the arsenal, including Huntress Throwing Hatchets and the Wraith's Bell. Lockers can be crafted as useful blocks, and interacting with them grants a few Throwing Hatchets.
The mod needs both the server and every player to run it, and it ships for NeoForge only. Files are published for 1.21.4 alone, with 0.1 as the latest release, dated 2025-07-25 on the beta channel. The code is not open source and is covered by All rights reserved.
