SCP-173, The Sculpture
by Zcoper
SCP-173, The Sculpture adds a Forge monster to Minecraft, modeled on the concrete statue from the SCP universe that is known as The Sculpture.
What it does
The monster stays still while a player keeps eye contact with it, and moves at great speed once the player looks away, closing the distance directly. Getting too close can end in a choking or a broken neck, which results in instant death. Staring at it does not stop it from approaching, so players have to avoid looking away when it is near.
The mod uses Geckolib as a required dependency, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The files are for Forge only, in the 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 range, with builds for 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-06-10, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Spawning follows the usual monster rules, so the creature can appear in the overworld. Only one instance can exist at a time. Its behavior has been adjusted around raycasting, which stops working when the player stands more than about 60 blocks away, and multiple instances can cause the detection to fail.
