Ghost Miners
A mod that adds an entity based off an old beta Minecraft myth. A black figure that roams the caves, watch out...
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
This mod adds and entity based off the old Beta Minecraft myths about Ghost Miners.
The original concept was the extra footsteps bug when in caves all the way back in beta Minecraft, and I'm here making this mod to expand upon what I think are behind those footsteps!
The entity can spawn very rarely underground and despawns above Y-50, so if you stay on the surface, you're safe!
Made for my upcoming Windows XP Modpack.
