Shut Your Eyes
by flamco4yt
Shut Eyes is a Forge horror mod in which an entity stalks the player across the Minecraft world, and keeping the eyes shut is the only way to stop it from killing the player.
What it does
Shut Your Eyes adds a stalking entity that moves through the world and goes after the player. The player defends against it by holding a key to shut their eyes, which keeps the entity from attacking. The mod is sound-driven: an audio cue is the only sign that the entity has left the area, so the player has to listen as well as look. The default key for closing the eyes is G, and a second key, Enter by default, is used to hold the breath.
The mod requires Geckolib for its animated model. The server and every player need the mod, and the environment is client and server. The author describes it as an early access build that may still contain several bugs. Files are published for Forge only, for two game versions: 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 2.0.5 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. Configuration changes are made in the world's config file, so server owners can disable the entity's killing, change spawn rates or adjust event timers. A repair command is available for a world that becomes broken, and the author notes that it fixes some issues.
Key features
Stalking entity
An entity follows the player through the Minecraft world and attacks the player when eyes are open.

A sound cue is the only indicator that the entity has gone, and no visual marker is shown.
Configurable settings

Repair command
