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 Goatman to your world. A well known Cryptid from Maryland. This creature spawns in the middle of the night where it either hunts for animals or YOU. It stalks you and plays with you. It swings a massive axe and lets out a devastating roar if provoked. It is adviced to stay from it as it has no issue breaking through wood to get to you.

This mod is still in Early Access! Let me know if you notice any bugs! This mod will get updated even more in the feature adding more abilities for the Goatman.

This mod needs GeckoLib

Big thanks for the inspiration to the Goatman mods from Llamii_Llama, Flamc04 and especially idk someguy who this mod is based on.
