The Growling Man Mod (1.20.1, 1.19.2) – Slop or Not

The Growling Man Mod is a horror-themed Minecraft mod that adds a stalking entity that appears in your world and watches the player. He usually avoids being noticed, but under certain conditions he can become aggressive.

Features:

• The Growling Man often stalks or watches players from a distance.
• He usually hides or disappears if noticed too early.
• He becomes dangerous if the player is “marked.”
• Being marked happens after repeated quick animal kills.
• When marked, he is much more likely to attack.

Special Situations

• He is drawn to events that generate grief in the world, such as village raids.
• During these events, his behavior becomes more aggressive toward nearby mobs.
• He may appear in caves or dark areas and silently observe.
• He can sometimes appear when you open your inventory.
• If you keep your inventory open too long, he may spawn nearby.

Player Warning Signs

• If he rushes toward you quickly, react and move away.
• Do not stand still when he is very close.
• Close your inventory quickly if he appears while it is open.

Sound Settings

• Music and jumpscare sounds use the Jukebox/Note Block volume slider.
• Lower that sound category in Minecraft settings if it is too loud.
