The Snow Guard (horror)
by Agent_Mat
The Snow Guard is a Forge horror mod in which a hidden beast lives in frozen woods and stalks the player, who can hunt it with a rifle.
What it does
In the frozen woods, the creature stays out of sight, blending into snow and trees. When it enters hunting mode it follows tracks and remembers the hunter it is chasing, so the player has to watch for it while moving through the forest.
Players may choose to take the fight to the creature with a rifle, and the mod keeps track of how the encounter went. Once the creature is killed, a stronger form emerges and goes through phases 6 to 9, growing more hostile at each one. The author notes that other events are planned for future updates. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.25 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The mod is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

What the author says
The beast is hiding, camouflaged in the snow and concealed among the trees; you know nothing about it. Your mission: kill it. You could use a rifle and follow its tracks, but remember who is the hunter and who is the prey. Remember, the world has already written its story; it is up to you to finish it. (other events…
