The Job Application
by jaceMorgan
Players mining and building in a quiet world find a single sheet of paper in The Job Application, a Forge mod that adds one unsettling entity.
What it does
The mod adds one new entity that spawns rarely and only once it sees the player. It floats after the player with unsettling speed and has a single goal: to make the player work. The offer arrives as a paper notice, and the player must either run or fight the entity before it hires them.
A cursed adventure mod, The Job Application fits hardcore worlds, creative builds and ordinary survival runs alike, since the entity can appear in any of them. It is published for Forge on 1.20.1 only, and it is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Rare spawning entity
A single new entity appears rarely and begins following the player once it has seen them.
Paper job offer
The entity presents its offer on a single sheet of paper, which the player receives in the world.
Run or fight choice
The player can either run from the entity or fight it, and the fight has to be won before the hire completes.
Unsettling pursuit
The entity floats after the player at high speed, so escape is difficult once it has noticed them.

Use cases
Hardcore survival
A hardcore world where the entity can ambush a player at any point during long runs.
Creative builds
Builders can still meet the entity while working in creative mode, which turns a calm session into a chase.
Who it’s for: Players who want a cursed, horror-style addition to survival or creative worlds on Forge 1.20.1, and server owners who want a rare hostile encounter on their server.
How it compares
Spooky And Stuffs is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is also client and server and published under All rights reserved, so it shares the environment and license of The Job Application but adds a wider set of spooky content. AnnoyingCraft is another Forge mod for 1.20.1 with the same client and server environment and the same All rights reserved license, aimed at irritating gameplay rather than a single entity. Polandable is a Forge client and server mod under All rights reserved, with files for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, so it covers an older version too.
