Solesteam's Sinister Sea-Stalker
by Solesteam
Solesteam's Sinister Sea-Stalker places a single hostile sea creature in the murky depths of ocean biomes, where it lurks out of sight.
What it does
Sinister Sea-Stalker adds one monster that waits in deep water. Its lurking happens in the murky parts of an ocean, so the creature is hard to spot when a player is swimming near the surface. Players who use a mod that removes water fog will find the depths are not as dark, which changes how far ahead a threat can be seen coming.
The creature is presented as a challenge that takes some effort to deal with. Ocean biomes can feel lively early in a world and grow darker and more unnerving later, and the creature is meant to be part of that shift. Players are advised to keep their base well lit, especially on rainy days, since darkness is what lets the creature get close unnoticed. Swimming away from deep water is the usual way to escape it.
Installation is limited to Forge for Minecraft 1.19.2, with the latest file 0.1.3 dated 2024-02-29. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The author notes that it requires a set of geckos, and a modpack hosted on Modrinth is one way it is distributed.
Key features
A single hostile creature
One monster is added to the game, living in the depths of ocean water rather than across many biomes.
Lurking in murky depths
The creature waits below the surface where visibility is low, so swimming in deep water carries a risk.
Darkness-driven threat
Dark skies and unlit areas raise the danger, so lighting the base matters during rainy weather.
Escape by swimming away
Moving away from the creature through the water is the intended way to avoid it.

Use cases

How it compares
The Shadow Stalker is also a Forge 1.19.2 mod that runs on client and server, but it is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only, which is not the same as this mod's All rights reserved license. From The Depths targets Forge 1.20.1 and is server-side only, so players can join without installing it. UPDATED TWIXXEL'S STALKER and Twixxel's Stalker (port) both target 1.20.1 on Forge with client and server environments, and they use a custom license and the MIT License respectively.

What the author says
This little mod adds a single monster, a creature that lurks in the murky depths... or not so murky if your one of those people that use a no-water-fog mod, then the depths aren't so murky, but regardless, seeing it coming may prove a bit difficult... If the sky and world grows dark, then swim away! If you like…
