Twixxel's Stalker (Fabric/NeoForge Port)
Something is watching you. You feel it before you see it, a nagging sense that the treeline is not as empty as it should be. Twixxel's Stalker (Fabric/NeoForge Port) brings that exact feeling to modern Minecraft, reviving a beloved horror concept for players who want their survival worlds to feel genuinely unsafe again. This is an unofficial Fabric and NeoForge port of Twixxel's Stalker by MrPerkasc, rebuilt by Thiov for Minecraft 26.1.2, and it does not pull its punches.
What Is the Stalker?
The Stalker is a silent hunter. It is a flat, unsettling figure that appears at the edge of your vision, stands perfectly motionless while you look at it, and creeps closer the instant you turn away. It is invulnerable, camera-facing, and armed with several deeply creepy poses that make every encounter feel deliberate rather than random. You cannot fight it. You can only decide how long you are willing to stare.
This mechanic flips normal Minecraft combat on its head. Instead of charging a mob with a sword, your survival depends on observation and nerve. Look too long and you lose time. Look away too soon and it closes the gap.
Core Features and Stalk Events
Stalk Events
The Stalker appears at a distance, or uncomfortably close if it is feeling cruel, stares at you for a moment, then vanishes. These events escalate naturally the longer you play, so early encounters feel like paranoia while later ones feel like a countdown.
Behind Scares
Sometimes it briefly materialises right behind you. There is no warning, no sound cue you can reliably react to, and no safe direction to run.
Chases
When the Stalker commits to a chase, it relentlessly teleports toward you, but only while you are not looking at it. It breaks through anything in its path and strikes in melee. Walls, doors, and terrain offer no real protection once the hunt begins.
Ambient Sounds and Darkness
Ambient audio plays on a timer to keep you on edge, and bad weather makes encounters noticeably more frequent. Get too near the apparition and it disappears, leaving you plunged into Darkness. That sudden blackout is often worse than the sight itself.
Configuration and Admin Tools
Horror is subjective, so the port ships with a fully configurable setup. The file lives at config/twixxels_stalker.json, and it lets you tune distances, cooldowns, chase damage, chase range, field of view, event durations, and plenty more. Server owners who want a gentler experience can dial everything back, while purists can crank the aggression up until their players refuse to mine at night.
Admins also get a handy command: /stalker trigger <close_stalk|distant_stalk|behind_scare|chase|break_event>. This is perfect for scripted events, map-making, or simply ruining a friend's peaceful afternoon on demand.
Requirements and Supported Versions
Before you download Twixxel's Stalker (Fabric/NeoForge Port), check that your setup matches. The port targets Minecraft 26.1.2 and requires Java 25. You need either Fabric with Fabric Loader 0.19.2+ and Fabric API, or NeoForge 26.1.2.x. Running the wrong loader is the most common reason players report the mod not appearing in-game.
If you would rather skip manual file juggling, the foxygame.net launcher handles Twixxel's Stalker (Fabric/NeoForge Port) through a one-click install that automatically picks the correct loader and matching game version for you.

Final Thoughts
Twixxel's Stalker (Fabric/NeoForge Port) for Minecraft succeeds because it understands that the scariest thing in a sandbox game is the loss of control. You cannot kill the Stalker, you cannot outbuild it, and you cannot fully predict it. All you can do is watch, and eventually, look away. If you want a horror mod that respects the original vision while running cleanly on modern Fabric and NeoForge, this port deserves a spot in your mods folder. Credit goes to MrPerkasc for the original mod, Twixxel_lesgo for the concept, and LCrandom for the designs.
