That's Not A Carnivore... (Horror)

The mod adds a prehistoric creature with a darker twist that hunts the player across the world. It is listed under the Cursed and Mobs categories. Spawning is controlled through the config folder, where the spawn chance and the tick interval can be changed. Lowering the number makes the entity appear more often, and raising it makes the spawn rarer, with 20 ticks equal to one second.

The creature goes through stalking phases before it commits to an attack. Its vision is weak, so it searches the area by sound instead, reacting to attacking other entities, eating food, breaking or placing blocks, and other noises. Crouching quiets the player, but the author advises staying crouched at all times, since standing up within range lets it notice and approach again. In combat, it is immune to most melee attacks, arrows and explosions, and its feathered body catches fire readily.

Installation requires Geckolib on the Forge loader. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. Builds exist for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the latest Forge file targets 1.20.1. The code is released under the Apache License 2.0, and the mod is not open source.
