The Pale Hound
by TheSpukuz
The Pale Hound reworks a hostile creature in the icy biomes of the Cursed category, changing its animations, texture and model so it feels more threatening and alive.
What it does
The mod changes an existing hostile creature rather than adding a new one. Its animations are updated so it moves in a more lifelike way, and its texture is changed to fit its name. The model also receives alterations, giving the creature a different silhouette, and arrows can remain lodged in its back as a visual detail.
The mod requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. It is published for Forge only, in two game versions: 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.10.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, released on 2024-11-15. Since the environment is client and server, both the server and every player need the mod.
Installation needs care when updating. Before loading a new build, players should remove the server configuration file from the world's save folder, because keeping the old file can cause malfunctions. The config file is found in the serverconfig directory inside the save folder of the world.
Key features
Reworked hostile creature

Arrows in the back

Use cases
Cursed-themed survival worlds
Players who want a darker, more threatening version of a cold-biome hostile mob can add the mod to a Forge install for 1.20.1.
Multiplayer servers
Server owners add the mod on the server and every player joins with it, so the reworked creature behaves the same for everyone.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players on Forge 1.19.2 or 1.20.1 who want a different look and behavior for a hostile mob in cold biomes. It also suits server owners who run a survival world and want the same creature on every client.

What the author says
"With arrows still lodged in its back, they serve as a reminder of its fearsome nature. Lurking in the icy landscape it calls "Home" where the cold has not slowed it down." Hiding behind the blizzard and the darkness, this creature will hunt you down the moment you enter its domain. You won't know where it lurks…
