Tortured.jar (Dweller)
by smoreh
Tortured.jar, by smoreh, adds the Dweller, a haunting creature that follows a player who has escaped containment in a haunted game console.
What it does
The Dweller is a Forge mod for 1.19.2 – 1.19.4 that places a hostile entity in the world, tied to a haunted game console and an escape from containment. Players who make eye contact with it too late are claimed by it, and the next soul it takes starts the cycle again. The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything.
