The One Who Watches
by PixelCoder
With The One Who Watches, a stalking entity that can kill the player enters the world and pursues them across the nights.
What it does
The mod adds a horror entity that stalks the player. The entity can kill, but it does not always have to: it may torture the player, drive them toward madness, or let them escape while it watches them run. It also causes false sightings, so the player may believe they see it in places where it is not. The mod is built around unease and vigilance, and players avoid it by listening for footsteps, keeping watch and staying as far from it as they can.
The entity does not appear during the first day and night cycle, and it does not show up on every night after that. The mod requires Geckolib on Forge, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for game versions 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.4.4 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The code is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved.

False sightings

Delayed start
