Wretched Stalker

The Stalker — a Fabric horror mod

A predator that doesn’t rush you. It watches, it closes in, and after three days… it commits.

The concept

The Stalker is a single relentless horror entity built around a  staged hunt. Instead of a jump-scare mob, it plays a slow psychological game — lurking at the treeline, creeping closer over days, whispering with your own words, until it finally attacks.

       The three stages 

• Observe  — Stays far out ,circles, watches from your blind spots. Never attacks.
• Closure  — Tightens the noose, moves in close, pressure builds with sound and FX.
• Terminal — It chases and kills, hitting harder than it did before, with a custom death message.

It never teleports in front of you — it stalks and paths in naturally, and even follows you across dimensions by reappearing far behind you. It won’t despawn mid-hunt.

Atmosphere & dread

• Tall, gaunt, blocky horror model with glowing red hollow eyes (emissive), long clawed arms, a hunched ribbed frame, and creepy idle/lurch/lunge animations (GeckoLib).
• 17 ambient events — whispers behind you, distant sounds, soul flames, darkness, heartbeat pulses — scaled up at night, in the dark, and when it’s actively hunting you.
• Chat mimicry — it echoes your own typed messages back, distorted.
• Optional Simple Voice Chat replay — it can play back snippets of your voice.
• Client tension HUD + low proximity heartbeat when it’s near and terminal.

Player-facing

• Spawn egg + /summonstalker, plus an advancement for killing one.
• Fully configurable (config/stalker_horror.json) and hot-reloadable with /stalker_horror reload — stage lengths, spawn distances, ambience intensity, combat strength, HUD, and more.
