SCP-1529, King of the Mountain
by Zcoper
SCP-1529, King of the Mountain adds a single humanoid creature that inhabits the highest, coldest peaks of the overworld and stalks players who climb above Y-level 120.
What it does
The creature appears on high, icy terrain above Y-level 120, and only one instance of it can exist at a time. Unlike typical hostile creatures, it behaves more like a looming presence than an attacker: while a player stays within 30 blocks it remains completely dormant, and it sometimes stares at a player from a distance. Players who go higher than Y-level 120 are walked toward by the entity, and at night, within 40 blocks of that height, it begins to move slowly toward them. Its harm is gradual, since it slowly kills through hypothermia rather than through direct strikes. It is unaffected by fall damage, can climb walls 8 blocks tall, and moves through powder snow.
The mod was created with MCreator by Zcoper and is set in the SCP universe, where the creature is known as King Mountain. Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside the mod. Files are published for Forge only, covering 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 across three release versions: 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Mountain stalker

Night movement
Within 40 blocks of the high peaks at night, the creature begins to move slowly toward the player.
Climbing and immunity
