Player Husk

A Husk is a creature that copies the exact movements of the player it is modeled on. Nothing stops its mimicry, so it stays in step wherever the player goes. Husks deal 15 damage upon contact, which is 7.5 hearts, and touching one hurts the player. In multiplayer, each player owns individual Husks, and those Husks do not affect other players.

The mod contains a second kind of creature, a Something, that only looks like a copy while it follows the same pattern. Husk spawning starts at a set delay of 20 ticks, then adds a further Husk on each cycle, and the spawn time is randomized. Two additional Husks spawn at intervals, and the spawn time is halved in the Nullscaper setting. Once a Husk spawns in that mode, an additional Husk joins every 3 minutes. Past 20 Husks the world reportedly suffers intense lag, and a Conga Monster line of five times the Husks can form with an extra Husk each minute.

Installation requires a server that runs Player Husk; clients may join with it or without it. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and also as a data pack.
