The Cultist
by Rafsan
The Cultist adds a horror entity that stalks players, along with two harmless companion mobs, new events, a stopping item and a structure for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The Cultist entity spawns during both day and night and paths toward the nearest player, so it always finds its way to a player. Its spawn is meant to be fair, with roughly one appearance every 10 to 15 minutes of play, while a world that has been re-logged may not spawn it at first until the world is fixed. Two variations exist: one only stares at the player, and the other charges at a player who comes close.
The mod also adds two harmless companion mobs, four new events, walking, idle and attacking animations, and new sounds. A new item can stop the Cultist, and a new structure generates in the world. Minecraft days are used as the timing reference for the entity's spawns and events.
The Cultist is published for Forge and NeoForge, for game versions 1.20.1 – 1.21.8 across three release versions: 1.20.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.8. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
