Fool you once, shame on me. Fool you twice, shame on you. This is the prank mod people can use to scare their friends
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThis mod claimed to provide improvements to swimming AI, but was actually a prank mod which contained a Herobrine jumpscare. I am converting it to a fully fledged Herobrine mod.
This mod doesn't actually improve swimming AI and is a jumpscare mod.
When a mob is killed, there is a 1 in 3000 chance that Herobrine will appear.
