Short pitch

A terrifying, ethereal horror that stalks the edges of light. Every strike clouds your vision — survive its madness or you might never see daylight again.

Behavior summary

• Aggressive stalker: Roams at dusk/night near ruined structures, caves, and foggy biomes.
• Blindness on hit: Every time Opium Dweller damages a player it applies Blindness (short duration — configurable; default 7 seconds).
• Spotted status: When a player looks directly at it, they receive a Spotted status for 7 seconds (visual cue / subtle sound).
• Vanish on kill: After Opium Dweller kills a player, it performs a vanishing effect and despawns (no corpse drop).
• Flee at low health: When Opium Dweller’s HP drops to 10 or below, it will attempt to flee from the nearest player (speed boost + teleport attempt after a short delay).
• Loot: Lightweight/rare drops (configurable). Consider making drops minimal to keep the horror vibe.
• Ambient effects: Subtle screen distortion and distant whispering sound while nearby.

Mechanics & tuning (suggested defaults)

• Health: 40 HP (configurable)
• Damage: 4–6 (configurable)
• Blindness on attack: 7 seconds (status effect, cannot be removed by potion while effect persists unless player uses special item)
• Spotted: 7 seconds of a HUD indicator + faint particle ring around player (so other players can notice you’re spotted)
• Flee threshold: ≤ 10 HP → flee behavior triggered (pathfinding priority: run away, attempt teleport every 6s if still pursued)
• Spawn rules: Night-only spawns, low spawn rate; do not spawn in bright light or frozen biomes. Option to make it spawn from specific custom structure blocks.
• Despawn on kill: After killing a player, play vanish animation + remove entity (no experience or corpse items by default).

Addon files & compatibility notes (for modders)

• Use entity components and event-based triggers for Bedrock (events: on_attack, on_hurt, on_death, on_look_at).
• Blindness = minecraft:status_effect on the damaged player (duration: 140 ticks = 7s).
• Spotted = custom component or scoreboard tag with 140-tick timer; attach client-side UI marker.
• Flee = set minecraft:movement priority and use minecraft:behavior.flee with a conditional on health component ≤ 10.
• Ensure behavior works for both singleplayer and multiplayer; test vanish/despawn on server so it doesn’t leave ghosts.

Installation & config

• Drop resource and behavior packs into games/com.mojang/behavior_packs and resource_packs respectively.
• Provide a small config JSON to tune health, damage, blindness_duration, spawn_rate, and flee_threshold.

Usage ideas

• Great for horror maps, survival challenges, or as a rare overworld threat.
• Pair with fog, muted sounds, and dim lighting to maximize tension.
