Lurkers Core
Lurkers Core is a Fabric mod with medkit bandages, a machete-style axe, keys, masks and horror-themed decorations for players and map makers.
What it does
The mod adds a set of items and decorations built around a horror map called Lurker. Bandages restore health, and a first aid kit holds more of them, so a player can heal in the middle of a fight. A machete-style axe hits with a short cooldown and can slow the creature it strikes. Keys, masks and armor pieces appear alongside the tools, and the author describes some of them as having limited or no use outside the map.
Decorations such as a Ventel, a door and a fan are included for building scenes. The mask is described as protection that counts for more than the armor units it provides, and the author notes that it cannot be used to kill the map's central figure. Only half of the items are granted when a player receives the set, so the gear stays scarce. Lurkers Core runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, which is not open source.
