by lamaprogramer

Midnight Lurker Fabricated is an unofficial Fabric port of the original Midnight Lurker, a mob mod that brings a set of horror entities into survival worlds.

What it does

Lurker variants spawn near players and wait for them to find them. Once a player finds one, the outcome depends on the player's actions: looking at a Lurker scares it off and makes it teleport away, while approaching without looking aggravates it. An aggravated Lurker can chase the player, teleport away when it cannot catch them, and break doors in the player's build, so locking it outside works only if the build uses iron doors. Killing a Lurker can trigger a chance that it walks toward the player and stops a certain distance away.

The mod adds several other entities to the same set. The Faker can jumpscare a player and raise their insanity stage by one. The Hider hides within the ground and teleports away when a player gets too close, often near the Void Gateway. Shadow entities stalk players in dark places such as caves, while the Shapeshifter appears in villages, deceives players during trades, and transforms back into a Lurker when attacked. The Neutral, or Runaway, variant watches the player and runs when they look at it or come close. Installation needs Fabric API and GeckoLib, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.

Key features

  1. Spawning and scares

    Lurkers appear near the player and react to being looked at, which makes them scare off or teleport away.

  2. Aggravated attacks

    A Lurker approached without looking at it can attack after about a minute, and it can climb and run after the player.

  3. Boat and minecart behavior

    A Lurker trapped in a boat or minecart immediately exits it, and its swimming is slightly faster than a player's boat.

  4. Shield cooldown and armor scaling

    Shields go on cooldown for 2.5 seconds after a hit, and damage from Lurker variants scales with the player's armor.

  5. Shapeshifter and Faker

    The Shapeshifter tricks players in villages during trades, while the Faker can jumpscare and raise insanity stage by one.
