Wild Snails
Wild Snails adds a hunter mob to Fabric servers that tracks each player through a per-player system.
What it does
When a player enables the custom mob, it relentlessly follows that player and lunges once it gets close. A player cannot kill it instantly, so the encounter takes effort. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric and targets 26.1.2 only, with 1.0 as the latest file released 2026-05-10 under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Per-player hunter
Each player can switch on a custom snail mob that is assigned to them alone.
Relentless pursuit
Once enabled, the mob keeps following its target and lunges when it closes in.
No instant kills
The snail cannot be killed in a single hit, so a player has to deal with it over time.
