The Hydra: Reborn New Version Port The Dweller King

Hydra, known as the Dweller King, is a hostile cave creature built around four behaviour states. In Stare Mode it freezes while the player looks at it, and it moves when the player looks away. Once it picks a target in Chase Mode it follows that player through caves and corridors without stopping. Under certain conditions it switches to Flee Mode and retreats, and in Stroll Mode it wanders the depths until its next victim appears.

The mod is a port of an existing creature, and the remade model uses GeckoLib textures and animations. Hydra climbs walls and breaks down doors, and its sounds cover chase, cave ambience, fleeing and disappearing. The author states that this release is a technical port that changes nothing in gameplay, models, sounds or textures, and that it exists so players can use the creature on Forge for this version.

Installation requires GeckoLib. The server and every player need the mod installed. The release is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and is released under the MIT License, not open source. Credit for the original work goes to Azenski and Flamc04, who created the creature, and the author asks players to support them.
