The figure
by BendasBuch
The Figure is a Forge mob mod in which a terrifying monster spawns at night and keeps hunting the player until morning.
What it does
A figure appears when night falls and stays out of sunlight, so daytime offers a refuge. Once darkness takes over, the figure pursues the player without rest and does not stop until morning. The chase keeps the player moving, since the figure is always close behind and never leaves the nighttime landscape.
The mod suits survival play in which nights carry a steady sense of danger, and the figure is meant to be a recurring threat rather than a one-time encounter. The Figure is published for Forge only, across two game versions, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
The most recent build is 1.0.5 for 1.19.2, released on 2025-03-08. Files for 1.20.1 are also published on the same Forge loader.
Key features
Night-only spawning
The figure spawns only at night and remains in darkness, so daylight keeps the player out of its reach.
Relentless pursuit
Once darkness takes over, the figure hunts the player and does not stop until morning comes.
Constant pressure
The figure stays behind the player, so the threat is continuous and the player must keep moving to avoid capture.
Eerie atmosphere
The dark environment and the creepy presence raise tension and make the night feel more intense.

Who it’s for: Players who want a monster that hunts through the night on a Forge server or client, and who accept that it cannot be escaped by hiding in shelter until dawn.
How it compares
The Man From The Fog is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 that is also client and server, under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Croaker is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, with the same client and server environment and the same All rights reserved license. Man From Hell is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 is needed on the server, with the client optional, so players may leave it out while the server may skip it too.
