TQH Mob Possession
by HeyKano
TQH Mob Possession makes ordinary passive animals behave unpredictably, turning cows, sheep, pigs and horses into unsettling threats on Forge for 1.20.1.
What it does
Passive animals are the focus of the mod. Cows, sheep, pigs and horses can suddenly stop, lock their attention on a player and begin moving in unnatural ways. After a possession event, an animal may flee as if something inside it had noticed it was being watched. Possession events happen at random and can affect any of these passive animals nearby.
Possessed animals can also perform rare violent charges and spread the disturbance to other animals nearby. Animals remember a player who was involved after the possession ends, and later retaliate by following, attacking or trapping that player. The mod is built around uncertainty and exploration rather than constant jumpscares, and multiplayer-aware targeting is included. Server owners need the mod installed, and the client side is optional. Files target 1.20.1 only and are published for Forge alone, with version 1.1.0 as the latest file in the alpha channel, released under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Random possession events
Passive animals can be possessed at random, changing how they act without any warning to the player.
Unnatural staring and fleeing
Possessed animals stop, stare at the player and flee, with movement that does not match their normal behavior.
Rare violent charges
Occasionally a possessed animal charges at a player, and the disturbance can spread to animals nearby.
Grudge and retaliation
Animals remember a player involved in a possession and follow, attack or trap that player later on.
Provoked animals
Provoked animals are stronger, faster and more durable than normal, so attacking them has a cost.

How it compares
Hollow Presence is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server, and it is not open source. The Killer Animals is also Forge-only for 1.20.1, with the same client and server environment and an All rights reserved license. LocalHost is another Forge mod for 1.20.1 with client and server installation, under All rights reserved. Each of these needs both sides, while TQH Mob Possession only requires the server.
