The Doppelganger 2
by c7oss
The Doppelganger 2 replaces villagers and other people in the world with a creature that copies their appearance and behavior.
What it does
When the mod is active, the doppelganger takes the place of a person and imitates how that person looks and acts, so a player may not notice the swap at first. The creature can also take the form of common farm and wild animals, including cows, pigs, chickens, wolves, spiders and bees, so disguised mobs appear among ordinary livestock and wildlife.
The mod is built around the idea of a legend in which a double stands in for someone and goes unnoticed. It is a Cursed category mod that also sits under Mobs and World generation, which suits horror-themed worlds and modpacks where unsettling creatures belong. Server owners should use it only in modpacks they are authorized to distribute.
The Doppelganger 2 runs on Forge and NeoForge. Forge files cover 1.19.2, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.20.6, and NeoForge files cover the same builds. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Both the server and every player need it.
Key features
Impersonation of people
The doppelganger replaces a person and imitates their appearance and behavior, so the swap is hard to spot.
Disguised animals
Cows, pigs, chickens, wolves, spiders and bees can each serve as a disguise for the creature.
Unsettling wild life
Disguised mobs blend into ordinary animals, so the creature is not always obvious in the world.
