The Horror In The Dark (Dweller)

Overview

The Dweller is a terrifying tall creature that hides in dark forests, watching players from the shadows. When it spots you, it tries to hide behind trees and can even disguise itself as other mobs like zombies or creepers. Get too close and it will grab you for an instant kill!

Features

  • Invisible Stalker: The Dweller lurks invisible in forests, making it nearly impossible to spot until it's too late
  • Tree Hiding: When it sees you, it attempts to hide behind nearby trees and logs
  • Mob Disguises: Can transform to look like zombies, skeletons, creepers, spiders, or endermen to trick players
  • Instant Kill: If you get within 2.5 blocks, the Dweller grabs and kills you instantly
  • Smart AI: Stops hiding and approaches when you're far enough away, maintaining its disguise when nearby

How to Use

  1. Install the mod on your server
  2. Explore dark forests and wooded areas
  3. Watch for strange mob behavior - if a zombie seems to be hiding or acting oddly, it might be the Dweller!
  4. Stay alert - the Dweller has 100 health, moves fast, and cannot be knocked back

Tips & Tricks

  • Use ranged attacks from a safe distance - once it disguises, you'll see it as a normal mob
  • Listen for unusual movement patterns - the Dweller moves differently than regular mobs
  • If you see a mob "hiding" behind trees, keep your distance and attack from range
  • The Dweller spawns rarely (about 5% of zombies become Dwellers), so encounters are special events

Known Limitations

  • The disguise is server-side only - players will see the disguised mob but it behaves according to the Dweller's AI
  • The Dweller inherits zombie spawn rules, so it only appears where zombies can spawn
