The Dark Dweller
The Dark Dweller is a Forge mob mod that turns the cave dweller into a mangled version that hunts players whenever it gets the chance.
What it does
The mod adds a distorted cave dweller that pursues the player across the world and keeps coming back whenever the opportunity arises. It is filed under Cursed, with the Adventure, Mobs and World generation categories also applied. Installation needs Forge, and the mod runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.19.2 only, with 0.4 as the latest Forge file, released 2024-09-21. The code is licensed as All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
