SCP-015-IT, The Boogeyman

by Zcoper

SCP-015-IT, The Boogeyman adds a pitch-black humanoid monster with glowing eyes that stalks players who linger in dark areas.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.19.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

The creature appears in the dark, first stalking a player and disappearing whenever the player gets too close. Players who spend too long in areas with a light level below 3 after seeing it are warned three times, and if the warnings are ignored it spawns and inflicts the Darkness effect. Anyone within 8 blocks receives the Fear effect, and an attack leaves the player with Slowness and Mining Fatigue. The fear grows more intense the longer nothing addresses it, and hallucinations and disturbing sounds follow.

The mod is based on the Boogeyman entry of the SCP universe, where the creature is referred to as SCP-015-IT. Installation needs Geckolib, and the mod runs on Forge in a client and server environment. Files exist for 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file, and the code is licensed under All rights reserved. Players who want a light source at hand can find a strong one soon after the creature appears, and the author recommends newer versions for the most features.

Key features

  1. Stalking behavior

    The creature follows a player at a distance and vanishes when approached too closely.

  2. Light-based spawning

    Spawning depends on how long a player stays in areas with a light level below 3, after warnings.

  3. Fear and status effects

    Nearby players receive Fear, and a successful attack applies Slowness and Mining Fatigue.

  4. Adjustable fear

    A game rule can turn the fear effect off, and another rule enables the Boogeyman for instances.
