Psychopath (horror)

Psychopath adds a paranormal creature that starts stalking the player after an encounter and grows more aggressive the longer the chase lasts. Players meet him with two possible options, and early on the sensible choice is to run, since a panicking player cannot build or break blocks. If the player stays and fights, the creature remains a human at first and can still be attacked.

The fight is built around a parry mechanic: holding a shield at the right moment stuns the creature for three seconds before his next attack. His damage scales with the chosen difficulty. Commands let players switch between two skins, disable the red vignette effect, and configure other visual settings, which suits players who want the horror tone adjusted for their own play.

Installation needs Forge for 1.19.2 and the Geckolib library, which must be installed alongside the mod. Psychopath runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.19.2 only, with version 1.3.0 as the latest, and the mod is released under the MIT License.
