SCP-153-D | The Impaler's Thumb
SCP-153-D | The Impaler's Thumb adds a cursed finger item for Forge 1.20.1 that turns whoever holds it into a territorial, aggressive owner.
What it does
Anyone who handles the SCP-153-D finger comes into contact with the object and enters a territorial state. The entity becomes defensive and periodically attacks anyone who enters its territory, and the territory is measured from the spawn point and sleeping location, which lie more than 200 blocks away. An owner who holds the Impaler's Thumb for a long time is attacked on sight within the territory.
The finger is a found object. It spawns in a structure on the surface of overworld biomes, roughly one structure per 3,000 blocks, and players can locate it with the locate command. Right-click reads the attached document, and shift plus right-click places the item as a block. A placed finger can be picked up again. The owner occasionally expresses angry thoughts and possessive phrases in chat or on the action bar.
The mod is inspired by the Foundation's landfill center in the SCP setting and by zcoper's mods. Only the Forge loader is covered, for 1.20.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Territorial owner state
Holding the finger makes the owner animalistic and territorial, and the owner grows more possessive the longer it is held.
Possessive inventory item
Once the finger is in the inventory, the owner becomes possessive of it and cannot drop the item.
Chat and action bar messages
The owner can express angry thoughts and patriotic or possessive sentiments in chat and on the action bar.
Surface structure spawn
The finger generates in a structure on overworld surfaces, about one per 3,000 blocks, and the locate command finds it.
Place and retrieve
Shift with right-click places the finger as a block, and it can be picked up again after placement.
