SCP-745, Headlights
by Zcoper
SCP-745, Headlights adds a fast predatory entity that hunts players at night, named for the two bright lights it shows in the dark.
What it does
The entity comes from the SCP universe, where the creature is referred to as SCP-745 and known as Headlights. It appears on the overworld surface after dark, spawning the way normal monsters do, though only a few instances appear. Its most distinctive feature is a pair of glowing lights visible even from afar, and it can detect players at distances of about 80 blocks.
Headlights becomes hostile when a player is near a well-lit area, with the threshold set at light level 13 or above, or when the player is riding another entity. Its speed increases the further away its target is. Once close enough, it lunges ahead with force that clears blocks from its route while dealing heavy damage, so its high health and attacks make it a serious nighttime threat. The mod requires Geckolib and includes a config file, and it is published for Forge.
Files exist for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the 1.20.1 build, released 2026-06-10, is the latest. The mod was created with MCreator and is made by Zcoper. Installation requires Geckolib on both client and server, since the environment is client and server.
