Lurking Entities
by TheWise
Lurking Entities adds eerie white-eyed animals that stalk players from above, below and around them, mainly at night and in caves.
What it does
Ordinary cows, pigs, sheep and chickens are joined by white-eyed look-alikes that spawn with a small chance during the day and more often at night, and especially in caves and underground tunnels. Cave noises are played now and then, and some animals silently follow players from nearby distances, blending into shadows.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything and the server runs it alone. Its entities watch from outside windows and can break into a house once they have made eye contact with a player. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files exist for NeoForge only, across five release versions, with 1 for 1.21.5 as the latest file.
Key features
Stalking animals
White-eyed animals follow players from above, below and around, staying out of sight while they watch.
Night and cave spawns
Spawns are most frequent at night and in caves, with a small chance during the day in other places.
Cave noises
Cave sounds play at intervals while the animals are nearby, adding unease to exploration underground.
Eye-contact encounters
An entity outside a window waits until it makes eye contact, then can run in and break the house.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a horror-leaning addition to survival worlds, and players who prefer quiet, unsettling encounters over combat. Because only the server needs the mod, it suits public servers with players on vanilla clients.
How it compares
The White Eyes is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved. Herobrine Addon is NeoForge only for 1.21.1 and needs the client, while the server may skip it. Simple Herobrine Mod also covers Fabric and targets 1.21.8, so it is not tied to the release line that Lurking Entities uses.

What the author says
This mod adds white eyed, herobrine looking animals (cows, pigs, sheep, chickens) with white eyes, which spawn during the night and a small chance during the day, and especially more common spawning in caves, and tunnels underground. When an animal spawns often a cave noise (or a slowed cave noise) will be played…
