Horror Mod Idea: The Blindstalker ("Слеплень") - A True Psychological Horror Mob for 1.20.1 Forge

Hey everyone! I’m tired of biological horror mods that just spam loud jumpscares. I’ve fully designed a technical concept for a horror entity focused on paranoia, non-linear RNG, and sensory AI.

I’ve made a concept art image to show what he should look like roughly: Enderman-sized height, pale/muddy skin, creepy elongated 3D limbs, and a massive torn vertical jaw. I'm can share png file of npc on discord or telegram, in telegram: xvypex1; in discord: bdick228.

Here is the breakdown of his mechanics (Looking for developers/animators who might want to bring this to life! I’ve never created mods before, and I think MCreator might not be suitable for bringing a horror creature idea to life. ):

1. Stealth Spawn ("Blind Spot"):

* Spawning is locked on day 1. From day 2, it checks for conditions strictly at night.

* It spawns 10-15 blocks away from the player STRICTLY behind an opaque obstacle (cave wall, tree) via Raycast so the player never sees it materialize.

2. Behavior Phases (State Machine):

* Phase 1 (Direct Sight): When spotted, it freezes. Every 0.5s, there is a 20% chance it will burrow underground (plays smooth GeckoLib animation, inflicts 10s Darkness effect, and discards itself). If it doesn't burrow within a random 5-10s timer, it switches to Wandering.

* Phase 2 (Wandering & Blind Tracking): It is entirely blind. It uses Minecraft's built-in Warden Vibrations system to track footsteps or block-breaking. It wanders for 60-120s (randomly rolled). If it finds no one, it burrows back (must find natural dirt/stone blocks first).

* Phase 3 (Attack): Bumping into any mob/player deals 15 damage. After a hit, the 60-120s despawn timer completely resets. It then either flees immediately (high chance) or screeches and aggressively rushes the target's noise (low chance).

3. "Rage Mode" (Aggro Mechanics):

* Taking 5-30 damage = 30% chance for Rage. Taking 30+ damage = 100% guaranteed Rage.

* Speed doubles. A unique, tense horror soundtrack plays ONLY when he is in Rage and close to the player.

* It can break down doors via BreakDoorGoal, squeeze through, and rapidly scan the room. Rage lasts for a random 15-25s, then resets back to Wandering.

4. Permanent Shoulder Raycasting (Fake IK):

* Permanent short raycasts are projected left and right from its shoulders. If a raycast hits a wall (1-1.5 blocks away), the arm bone smoothly bends towards it. This simulates a blind creature realistically feeling its way through narrow rooms, touching walls, and doorframes (similar to the Figure from Roblox Doors).

5. Atmosphere:

* Rare random world timer triggers one of 10 custom distant, low-volume roars to induce paranoia.

* Occasionally drops rare 3D slime trail blocks that players can pick up and place down.

Note: Features can be modified, adjusted, or expanded during the development process.
