Timbershriek

by clintuitive

Timbershriek adds one relentless forest predator that Minecraft players summon only by felling logs with their own axe, and it hunts until the player is dead or gone.

What it does

Chopping a log can call the creature in. Once summoned, it moves toward the player through trees, rivers and rough ground, and it cannot be stopped short of killing it. Its shriek and the sound of splintering wood give players warning, but the mod treats the chase itself as the main threat, so every log carries a gamble.

Wooden tools do little against it, and the mod expects stone or better gear. Defeating it drops a Gnarled Heartwood that is worth four furnace smelts. The chance of the encounter is tied to the difficulty set in game. Timbershriek needs Fabric API and GeckoLib, runs on client and server, and is published for Fabric on Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.11.

Key features

  1. Log-triggered predator

    Breaking logs has a chance to summon the forest predator, which then follows the player across the terrain.

  2. Gnarled Heartwood drop

    Defeating the creature leaves a Gnarled Heartwood, an item worth four furnace smelts.

  3. Tool requirements

    Wooden weapons and tools barely hurt the predator, so stone or better equipment is needed to fight it.

  4. Adjustable encounter chance

    The log-break spawn chance can be set to one of three difficulty levels in the mod settings in game.

What the author says

Timbershriek adds one relentless forest predator to Minecraft — and the only thing that summons him is the sound of your own axe. Fell a log, dawn or midnight, and he may already be threading toward you through the trees. He shrieks, he hunts, and he does not stop until you're dead or gone. Older Minecraft versions…
