The Knocker Remake [With Unique AI]

Thumbnail: The Knocker Remake [With Unique AI] Go to files

You might remember the Knocker, that ominous dude who is known for his suspicious behaviors and interest in disturbing people at home by knocking on doors and windows. This addon expends on that AI.

Development note:

The knocker is originally made by M_Productions!

You can find his original mod here: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/the-knocker

Credit goes to him for coming up with the origin of this cool, ominous character!

Although taking inspiration from the Knocker because he is very cool!

I massively expanded on His AI and behavior for this Bedrock Remake!

I really enjoy to experiment with making super lifelike AI for various custom Minecraft entities!

The Knocker was a really nice concept to practice my coding on!

So I made this Unique Knocker AI completely for fun!

Just for people to enjoy and have a unique (scary) experience in Minecraft!

This addon might expand as far as I see fit for cool, scary concepts!

Stay tuned! ; )

Watch these Addon showcases if you dont mind spoilers and want some info:

You might wanna discover this addon yourself!

Some tips though:

  • He randomly spawns at night time,
  • He usually operates at night time,
  • He can learn to mess with you at day time too,
  • Never look HIM straight into HIS eyes! To prevent a conflict with an entity you probably can't defeat (Less sensitive on popular demand),
  • He has unique AI (it's intentionally made inconsistent to simulate a player like behavior),
  • Even though it's tempting to kick HIS ass, I strongly recommend either avoiding or ignoring him, as you probably won't win the fight,
  • He is avoidable if you are able to outsmart HIM,
  • Each encounter with HIM could feel different,
  • Sometimes it's better to stay inside your cosy home,
  • He adapts,
  • He has 5 faces/masks representing: Gentlemen, Murderer, Thief, Pyromaniac and Psychopath (Increased odds for rare behaviors after update),
  • Those masks each have their own Knocker behaviors,
  • He has different moods/stages,
  • He can imitate at random,
  • He taunts you at random,
  • His reactions are inconsistent, making encounters unique,
  • Strategy affects the outcome,
  • I recommend approaching him with care, as you never really know what he does,
  • If he seems stuck, don't let him fool you,
  • He fools people by acting weird,
  • He acts as a player, but could he actually be a ghost too?,
  • He isn't always hostile,
  • He actually knocks,
  • He sometimes casually whistles, trying to seem innocent and hide His suspicious activity,
  • He tries to confuse you sometimes in various ways, Never trust Him!
  • He baits players,
  • He lures them into the unknown sometimes,
  • He can be a burglar too,
  • He learns when you aren't home,
  • He can already be in your house messing about,
  • He visits various homes and structures and could be busy interacting,
  • He stalks you in various (Endless) ways as soon as He joins your world,
  • He can be evasive sometimes after the update to make room for His endless capabilities in behavior being barely used before (Fix),
  • Even though he has its behavior patterns, you can't expect him to stay consistent,
  • All these things will make sense after either playing this addon or watching videos about it, lol! ; )
  • You really just wanna experience this yourself!
  • Cheers! ; )

    Question, i really wanna play this but but im not sure how i can download it since im on my pc, and id love to play this on bedrock or java!!
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      It's an addon/mod made especially for Bedrock(This one lol, the original one started on Java)! You can find some instructions for installing addons on this website for PC too! Please make sure to keep in mind, my addons need to be removed before installing any updates! They don't stack like normal addons lol! Cheers! ; )

    Ive been wondering how to add this on my minecraft world, can someone help?
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      Download the mcaddon file from one of the links on this page, Look for the file with a Filemanager app, open the file with Minecraft from the share or open with option, Sometimes on some devices you have to change the file extension from zip to mcaddon though before opening, When added to Minecraft, make a new world or add it to an existing world(at your own risk lol), select and activate both the behavior and resource pack, applying the behavior pack first sometimes automatically applies the resource pack too, Now the addon should be active ingame in that world, Please know some addons take longer to make stuff happen etc! Cheers! ; )
      1. “Or add to an existing world” even tho it is possible I don’t recommend it. I added a mod to an existing world one time and it crashed 2 times. :) 😅
        1. (Btw I am not mocking you dolphinmastermb I am just saying my opinion of this! 😅)

            No problem lol!😆
        2. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
          DolphinMasterMB Author
          That's definitely a fair recommendation lol! Adding weird experimental specimens to an precious existing world, is very risky and is better being prevented if possible! Please use a fresh world if you can! ; )

    Hi DolphinmasterMB, i wanna talk about this small problem. So like me and my friend were playing on survival mode and the Knocker Pack was already on, I checked on Behavior pack it is currently active. We already found a base and slept in bed and waited for it and the Knocker didn't spawn. Is there anything else we need to do for him to appear? Ooh and if you're able to answer more, how do i make the Knocker peaceful on creative mode?
    1. You can’t really make him peaceful. Ngl the knocker does what he wants. The AI is so good that even dolphin master can’t predict what it might do. He spawns when he wants so there is no way to know when he will spawn. :) 😅
      1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
        DolphinMasterMB Author
        Yes lol!😂

        OHH alright thanks dude CAUSE LIKE MY FRIEND AND I WERE CONFUSED WHERE HE WAS
  5. Hi, DolphinMasterMB. Is there any chance to play with the newest version of addon without Vibrant Visuals? I can't toggle it, and addon keeps giving me "resourcepack.incompatible.graphics.pbr" error. I tried to fix it, but it didn't work :(
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      It should work without VV too! I recommend just ignoring the error as it probably won't affect gameplay! Cheers! ; )

    Just curious, will The Knocker spawn in peaceful?
  7. A question, dolphinmasterMB, why don't you update The Knocker, but not the remake, but the old one. Honestly, I prefer the old experience because the new one bores me. I mean, you're not a bad addon developer. How about two separate experiences, the new one and the old one, because the old one is already bugged? Arctic Avengers no longer uploads videos about The Knocker addon, it's been 4 months. It's just a suggestion. take your time.
  8. Oh, I also have the file for the Knocker Remake addon, but one of the previous versions. https://www.mediafire.com/file/bzxwwwgtjerqkjl/TheKnockerRemake_by_DolphinMasterMB

    Made an account just to comment but I've seen on tt that people can talk to him through chat? Or is it another mod? Sorry if its dumb :')
    1. In the recently added trial version, he can talk! What I'm not sure about is whether you can talk to him... Or that we can interact in the chat with him
      1. So in conclusion, I don't know if the messages are simply visual and aren't really meant to be written back.

        Let's hope the developer answers our questions!

          Aww thank you so much for replying, it helped.
          I thought I installed it wrong or something 😭
          1. Did you install the experimental version? I think he might in that :)
          2. Popski profile avatar
            Popski
            How do I get the experimental? The version i got is the 1.21.100 one 😩

            Hi guys! Good questions! In the recent addon update, The Knocker talks in chat to taunt you kinda yes lol! There actually is an Easteregg: When the knocker says "Knock knock" in chat, you can actually respond with "Who is there?" and He actually responds to that randomly! It's a test though! I plan to maybe add more stuff like that later! Cheers! ; )
          5. Hi! Hello developer! Could you tell us more about how the knocker's AI works?
            As: Can he reply in the chat(besides the easteregg) ? In a case where we post a reply message or just talk randomly to get his attention? An interactive chat would be a very interesting idea!
          6. That actually would be very cool but idk. It might be hard to code

            Herobrine already meets this idea/concept! I plan to do the Knocker slightly different, but it's still in development WIP lol! Cheers! ; )
          8. We trust in your talent! You're a great addon developer.

    Can someone tell me why the resources and behaviour packs won’t work it keeps hinging me warnings and it won’t show up
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      I don't know lol! Could you maybe please be a bit more specific about the error? Warnings can often be ignored in case of my addons! They are highly experimental sometimes, but work in a very cool way when setup properly! Cheers! ; )

    Você deveria deixar um pouco igual o mod original do Java ele não atacar a pessoa quando chegar perto bota mais evento e mais mecânica se você querer me ensinar como criar addon eu ajudo no seu addon o knocker 👍🏼🫡✨✍🏼
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      The addon is intended to be slightly different than Java, while still remaining familiar! This addon aims to be more diverse and add more depth to what the Knocker can do, as well as adding more detail to Him etc! Cheers! ; )
  13. I opened this page several seconds later I realized an image was open on another tab. Its the image of the knocker hiding behind a tree looking at the player looking at the knocker through the window!

    Spooked me, dunno how it opened LOL....
    However makes me want to play it MORE now. So Imma donwload it!
    1. Small confusion here, but what exactly does "The Knocker for testing Purposes" add? No spoilers lol just want to know if theres a *difference* or if it should go with the main addon.
      1. Well if you want no spoilers then it introduces a smarter version. It is a test tho😅 it might be buggy but it should be better! :)
      2. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
        DolphinMasterMB Author
        I recommend using the testing one! It's far more interesting! It's a few updates ahead lol! You don't need both, only the testing one! Cheers! ; )
