The Cryptid Mod (1.20.1, 1.19.2) adds a horror stalker entity that appears in your world, watches you, and creates constant tension through unpredictable behavior and sounds.

Features:

  • Adds a roaming horror entity called Cryptid
  • Focuses on stalking and psychological pressure instead of constant combat
  • Encounters feel random and uncertain

Behavior

  • Often watches the player from a distance
  • May slowly follow or circle around the player
  • Can pace, observe, or reposition instead of attacking
  • If ignored for long enough, it may:
    • Disappear
    • Become aggressive and start a chase
    • Trigger a random event
    • Switch behavior pattern

Player Interaction

  • Looking directly at the Cryptid can trigger a reaction
  • Possible reactions:
    • Instant disappearance
    • Random event
    • Start of a chase
  • On hit, it has a chance to grab or throw the player
  • Early encounters focus on fear, later encounters are more lethal
  • After a successful kill, its behavior resets to scare-focused again

Sound Design

  • Nearby audio cues include:
    • Claw scraping
    • Footsteps
    • Branch or twig snapping
    • Ambient horror sounds
  • Some sounds are fake and can play without the entity nearby
  • Volume controlled by Jukebox/Note Block sound slider

Config Options

  • Edit in the config folder or with the Configured mod
  • Key settings include:
    • Minimum and maximum spawn time (seconds)
    • Spawn chance
    • Minimum and maximum chase time (minutes)
    • Maximum spawn distance (blocks)
    • Enable or disable chase music
    • Alternate chase theme toggle
