SCP-3456, Orcadian Horseman

by Zcoper

SCP-3456, Orcadian Horseman adds a red, horse-like monster that appears on the surface at night only after a player has died three times, and this count is a hard trigger, not a random chance.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.19.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

The creature is drawn from the SCP setting, where it goes by the Orcadian Horseman name. It spawns only on the overworld surface during the night, and only once a player has died three or more times. The mod is built with MCreator by Zcoper and depends on Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it on Forge for 1.20.1.

The monster has high speed, great strength and immunity to projectiles. While it is far from its target it fades out and becomes invisible, then closes in silently until it is near enough to attack. Rain and thunder bring it into play more often, since it can hide beneath the ground and wait to ambush players who wander too close. A player who dies repeatedly should expect it to hunt them.

The spawn is gated by a game rule. Setting the rule EnableOrcadianHorseman to 1 or higher enables the creature at once, and setting it to 0 turns it off. A command resets a player's death count, which removes the spawn trigger for that player. Files are published for Forge only, in three release versions, 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the latest is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1.

Key features

  1. Death-count trigger

    The threat stays dormant until a player's death count reaches three, and the count controls when it is active.

  2. Invisible approach

    At more than 30 blocks from its target the creature turns invisible and closes in quietly until it can strike.

  3. Ambush from underground

    During rain and thunder the creature can wait beneath the ground for players who walk too close.

  4. Game-rule control

    A game rule switches the creature on or off, and a command resets a player's death count.

Questions

Does SCP-3456, Orcadian Horseman need Geckolib?

Yes. Geckolib is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to the mod on Forge for 1.20.1.

Does the server need the mod as well?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

How can a server operator stop the creature from spawning?

Set the game rule EnableOrcadianHorseman to 0. Setting it to 1 or higher turns the spawn back on.
