The Clone
by Zcoper
The Clone adds a monster that copies a player's appearance, watches from a distance and escalates through four phases until it attacks.
What it does
The Clone is a Forge mob mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 that adds one hostile creature. It looks like the player, appears darker and with glowing features, and stays at a distance, often near the player, accompanied by an eerie sound. The creature vanishes when looked at directly and turns into a monster when the player stops watching it. The mod requires Geckolib, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.
The creature is managed through phases. Early on it appears far off and disappears once the player looks toward it. In phase 1 it spawns closer and changes into a monster when looked at. In phase 2 it spawns even closer and attacks the player. In phase 3 it spawns close and can emerge from the ground. Phases reset to 0 after the Clone kills the player, or through the clone reset phases command, and the clone add phases command raises the phase by one.
The mod is built with MCreator. Files are published for Forge across three release versions, 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file released on 2026-06-07. The license is All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.
Key features
Mimicking monster
The creature takes on the player's appearance while remaining darker and glowing, which makes it read as an intruder.
Four escalating phases
Spawn distance and aggression increase across phases 0 to 3, with the Clone reaching the player in the final phase.
Look-based behavior
It vanishes when looked at in early phases and turns into a monster when the player looks away, keeping the threat hidden.
Phase commands
The clone add phases and clone reset phases commands let server owners advance or reset the phase progression.

The Clone adds a terrifying new monster. A strange creature lurks in the world, one that looks exactly like a player but darker with glowing eyes. It watches silently from a distance, always appearing nearby with an eerie sound. If you lock at it, it may simply vanish… or turning into a monster. You may think you’re…
