The Pickle is a lightweight horror mod for Minecraft that introduces a single entity tied to a simple structure.
To summon it, place two pickle blocks on top of each other with a cobblestone on top.
At first, nothing happens. The entity will appear passive and may not seem dangerous.
If attacked, it becomes hostile. It will chase the player, summon zombies, and strike lightning. The situation escalates quickly and is not intended to be balanced.
This mod is designed to be minimal and focused, adding tension without extra items or systems. It is built for Forge 1.20.1 and should work in most modpacks without dependencies.
