stalkerwolf

Stalker Wolf is a psychological horror mod for Minecraft Java 1.21.1 on NeoForge that turns the wilderness into a place where every distant sound makes you look over your shoulder.

Something is watching you.

The Stalker Wolf stalks, circles, and studies its target before attacking. Misleading footsteps, unsettling growls, thickening fog, and a rising heartbeat make it difficult to tell how close the danger really is. Each hunt belongs to a specific player, creating personal encounters even in multiplayer worlds.

Then there is Hollowfang—a corrupted predator with exposed bone, violet eyes, and a devastating pounce. Wounding it can trigger a rage that makes the encounter even more dangerous.

Survival takes preparation. Distract your hunter with Scent Decoys, interrupt an attack with a Hush Bell, or fuel a Ward Lantern to discourage natural Hollowfang encounters. Explore forgotten shrines, uncover journal chapters, and attempt a dangerous cleansing ritual to remove the Mark of Prey.

Deep underground, rare Dusksteel and Echo Crystal deposits provide the materials for Wardbound armor, weapons, and tools, giving you another way to fight back.
