SCP-096, The Shy Guy
by Zcoper
SCP-096, The Shy Guy adds a single, relentless creature from the SCP universe to Minecraft: a mob that sits crying until someone looks at its face.
What it does
The creature appears in the overworld and behaves like a normal monster in where it can spawn, but only one instance of it exists in a world. Looking at it triggers its rage, and a player who views a Disturbing Photo of it receives the Shy Guy's Rage effect, which also sets the creature on that player. Once enraged, the mob pursues its target and can climb blocks up to 10 blocks tall, breaking blocks in its path. It regenerates, so it is close to impossible to defeat, and it keeps chasing until it despawns. Looking at it while it stays passive is safe, but a sustained gaze makes it attack instantly.
The mod was made by Zcoper with MCreator and needs Geckolib to run. It is published for Forge, with files for 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and it is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. The server and every player need the mod installed.
Key features
Rage on sight
Looking directly at SCP-096 starts its rage, and it then chases the player without pause.
Disturbing Photo

Bag capture
Holding a bag in the main hand and sneaking toward the creature captures it, without needing to look at it.
