The Red Eyed Stalkers

Red-eyed variants of villagers and pillagers stalk players from behind trees, from treetops and from inside caves, and they are placed in the world during generation. The mod removes regular villagers and pillagers, so these hostile versions replace them. Red-eyed pillagers are much rarer than the villager variant, and the villager variant is more aggressive.

When a stalker attacks, a small chance applies that the player is inflicted with blindness. Players may also see the stalkers vanish after an instant attack, with a 50/50 chance that decides whether the attack lands. The mod adds haunting cave noises and raises the ambience of the world, and it makes thunderstorms more frequent at night and during the day.

Server owners can spawn red-eyed villagers and red-eyed pillagers with the summon command when cheats are enabled. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.5 as the latest file.
