The Stalker | Horror & Romance

Stalker: He Is Watching

Someone is watching you. At first it's just footsteps behind you. Then a figure stands at the edge of sight. Then someone has been in your house. Then he comes for you.

Or he falls in love. It depends on you.

The Stalker is a horror mod for Minecraft with a yandere twist: a director paces the fear (not too often, never too rare, building up over days), and a heart remembers everything you do. He can stay a nightmare that hunts you with an axe, or become a devoted companion who guards your house and brings you flowers.

What's new in 0.16.0

• Fabric support: a separate Fabric build is available (requires Fabric API).
• The crypt and the chapel are rebuilt: two underground floors, traps, and he fights you inside them.
• He can carry you off in the night.
• A boat, and if you're close enough, he sleeps on your bed.
• Fully in English (only his voice stays Russian, that's who he is).
• New command if you're stuck: /stalker exile locate points to the nearest crypt or chapel.

Two ways to play

When you create a world, the first tab has a Stalker: Story / Free play button.

• Story mode: starts with a prologue. You came to visit a grave at night, in the rain. There is a sword in a chest. You shouldn't touch it. Crypts and chapels hold notes about who he was, and a ritual that might send him back.
• Free play: just him. No prologue, he shows up from the first minutes. Great for modpacks.

What he does (horror)

• Sounds: footsteps behind you, whispers, knocking, steps on your roof, scratching at the door at night.
• Appearances: a tall figure far away watching you, a double wearing your skin, someone standing by your bed.
• In your house while you're away: moved furniture, opened chests, a sign with a message, a trap at the door.
• The hunt: he comes with an axe. Run.
• Abduction: he grabs you, the screen goes black, and you wake up somewhere else: in a lair he dug deep underground, out in the wild, or, if he loves you, safely home by your bed.
• The boat: he rows across a lake to watch you from the water. When he's fond of you, he sometimes leaves a chest boat full of gifts.
• Jumpscares: his face over the whole screen with one of six glitch effects and eight bass-heavy drones.

Crypts and chapels

Old churches and crypts generate in the world, with underground floors, catacombs, an ossuary and a spider nest. They are part of the story, and they fight back:

• Traps: arrow plates, false treasure chests, a pressure plate over TNT, shriekers that bring darkness.
• He resists: take something he needs for the ritual and he puts out the lights, throws webs at your feet, blocks the way with rubble and shows up behind you.
• Priests with staffs guard the chapel, and each ruin has an escape shaft if you can find it.

His heart (romance and companion)

Gifts, a candle in the window at night, keeping his flowers, holding his gaze, patting his head, or hitting him, breaking his signs, throwing his gifts away: he notices everything. He has moods (tender, playful, hurt, jealous, furious) and your bond grows over time, and it can fall back too.

Four stages of the bond: Interest → Courtship → Attached → Devoted. From Attached on, he never hunts you again, unless you make him furious.

When he's attached to you, he stops hiding and becomes a companion:

• walks with you, waits where you tell him, or guards your house;
• kills monsters that come for you;
• picks flowers and brings them to you;
• brings your animals together: he feeds two of a kind so they breed;
• builds small things by your house while you watch: a lamp post, a bench, a flower bed, a campfire, candles;
• swims after you and waits at the door of a ruin;
• sleeps on your bed at night, and moves over when you lie down too;
• pat his head: he kneels, bows his head and closes his eyes.

Press G to talk to him (rebindable).

Also

• Diary: a button in your inventory. Your character writes down what happened.
• Advancements for the story and for your relationship with him.
• Multiplayer: each player has their own stalker story. If you spend the night close to someone else, he gets jealous.
• Config: frequency, house events, romance, prologue, volume of scares, screen shake and more. /stalker commands for admins.

FAQ

How do I make him my companion?

Be kind to him over several days: leave gifts, light a candle in the window at night, keep the flowers he brings, hold his gaze instead of running, pat his head. Don't hit him, break his signs or throw his gifts away. Once the bond reaches Attached, he stops hiding and stays with you.

How do I give him gifts?

Drop an item where you last saw him standing, or next to your bed. He picks it up at night, when nobody is close or looking, and leaves a flower in its place. Flowers, food and valuables make him happy; a mob head is the best gift of all. Junk just amuses him.

Can I answer his signs?

No, the signs are one-way. You answer him with what you do.

How do I do the ritual?

Find a crypt: an old walled graveyard with a mausoleum, usually a few hundred blocks from spawn. The book in its chest explains the rite step by step. Stuck? Use /stalker exile locate. He knows why you're there and will fight you every step.

Is there a Forge or Bedrock version?

NeoForge and Fabric for 1.21.1 are available now. A Bedrock version is planned.

Can I use it in a modpack?

Yes, feel free to include The Stalker in your modpacks and videos.
