Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.20.1Newest
Minecraft 1.19.2

⬇ Download for 1.20.1 ⬇ Download for 1.19.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This mod adds a lore accurate Wendigo from Canadian folklore to your world! This Wendigo spawns in the middle of the night and hunts you down.

This mod features:

The Wendigo:

He spawns in the middle of the night hunting you down. He can also hunt Villagers, break through glass and climb.

The Wendigo Curse:

If your hunger drops below 2 hunger bars or the Wendigo hits you there is a chance for you to get possessed by a Wendigo's spirit. When that happens you cannot consume normal food any longer because it won't saturate your hunger. Wendigos are cannibals so you have to hunt villagers to gain Villager Flesh. This will be the only source of food that will keep you alive. There is no cure for it. Only death. So be careful!
