STALKERS
Stalkers, a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, introduces observing entities and unstable dimensions that focus on perception rather than combat.
What it does
Stalkers is a minimal anomaly-based mod. Its entities are built around watching the player: a Watcher keeps its distance and disappears when looked at directly, a Corner shows up near edges and corners where it is rarely visible, and a Mimic copies familiar shapes with small inconsistencies. The mod introduces isolated dimensions with altered behavior, where the layout can be distorted, lighting unreliable and spatial cues misleading.
Players reach these dimensions through a craftable item that allows controlled teleportation. Entry is intentional but the destination is random. Spawn conditions are non-standard and follow predictable patterns, interaction with the entities is limited, and some despawn only under specific conditions. The mod is designed for singleplayer. It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and files cover Minecraft 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 2.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest Forge build. It is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Observing entities
Watcher, Corner and Mimic entities react to the player's line of sight and position rather than attacking.
Unstable dimensions
Isolated dimensions have altered behavior, with inconsistent layouts, distorted lighting and unreliable spatial cues.
Craftable teleport item
A craftable item sends the player to an anomaly dimension, with entry chosen by the player and the destination left random.
Visual and audio artifacts
Brief visual artifacts, irregular audio, lighting inconsistencies and UI anomalies add to the unsettling atmosphere.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who prefer horror and atmosphere to combat will find the mod's focus matches their interest. Because the entities are built for singleplayer, multiplayer servers have less to offer around this content.
