Michael.jar
by Vladmastec
Michael.jar is a Forge mob mod for 1.20.1 that adds a horror creature called Michael, which spawns, chases and scares the player.
What it does
Michael appears in the world and pursues the player, sometimes accompanied by unsettling sounds such as a distant hee-hee. The creature is built to frighten rather than to fight: it does not break blocks, and a single hit does not kill the player, so the scares stay focused on tension. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and source code is public.
The server and every player need the mod installed. It targets Forge only, with one build, 2-Release, published for 1.20.1 on 2026-08-29. It was first published on 2026-06-25 and has been updated since. The author lists features as current and asks players to report any bugs they find.

This is the scariest mod ever! - Markus Persson, 5 star rating. He always sees you. He knows where you are. He knows where you live. He knows where you sleep. He knows everything about you. This is HIS world. Sometimes you hear strange sounds, like: "Hee-Hee." which is very scary!
