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The knocker is originally made by M_Productions!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! ; )

    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. ryokaander profile avatar
      ryokaander
      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. ryokaander profile avatar
        ryokaander
        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.

            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! ; )

            ryokaander
            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!

    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! ; )
      1. 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.

    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! ; )
  5. 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!

      Pickle
      Bro do it!
    2. 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. Pickle profile avatar
        Pickle
        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! ; )

    Question: How did you learn to code addons? I want to learn that's why😅🫠
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      I understand! However I took quite a long (hobby) coding journey lol! It's quite an complicated story! It's a lot to type lol! I might tell later! Cheers! ; )
      1. Pickle profile avatar
        Pickle
        Ok!🫠 I want to make horror mods someday but I have no knowledge of code and wherever I try to get help there isn’t really anything about it. I just need someone to help me that's all👻 Bye!
        1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
          DolphinMasterMB Author
          This is a part of my story I found in my snippets lol:

          It all started because Minecraft first added dolphins and I was kinda disappointed with their AI and behavior in Minecraft! So I dedicated myself to Minecraft coding on my iPad and started my all first project "Coding a dolphin to make a backflip"! As soon as I succeeded and got kinda interested in Minecrafts code! I made other custom jumps and more tricks and interactions after! Then created the most advanced dolphin AI on the internet in Minecraft! After that I started making different addons too to reach more followers and to get more recognition! After some beautiful addon projects, Fearcraft came alive! My most popular project! Therefore "Horror" was the most effective theme lately! But Remember everything started with hyper cute dolphins! Hence my username lmao! Cheers!🐬👻👀🥳🤩😎🤗☺️😁🤪😂👌😆👍😉
          1. Pickle profile avatar
            Pickle
            Did you learned to code just on your iPad? That's awesome! I need help wondering how you learned. Was it a video? A guide? Or did you just learn on your own? I need a little help lol😅🫠
          2. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar

            The only thing is that I feel a little uncomfortable talking to people I met online.
            That's kinda why I like talking on here. Plus I don’t have Discord and I don’t want to download it
          2. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
            DolphinMasterMB Author
            I understand! However talking (much) here might get us reported for abusing the chat lmao!😅😝🤔😆

  13. I really like this mod, but I miss the fact that it doesn't send messages to the chat :(
    1. mas de fato ele não envia mensagens no chat, e não faria sentido ele enviar.
      1. There's just an add-on where he writes something in the chat, and it's quite interesting. And considering his behavior in this mod, he would benefit from this feature. It's nice to see a "good night" from someone who wants to kill you in the game.
    2. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      Tried the public beta version yet?👀
      1. I can't say for sure, because I don't really understand what it's about (perhaps due to translation difficulties)

      Hi, I’m having trouble updating the Knocker Remake in my existing world. Even after removing the old version and re-adding the new one, it still runs the older version. The recent update works fine in a new world and I can experience the new features like the knocker’s whistling for example. This update with the new features doesn’t carry over to my main world and I’m still experiencing old Knocker behaviors like his high sensitivity when staring at him.

      Is there a way to fully update it without starting over?
      1. você não deveria usar a nova versão do addon no mesmo mundo em que estava usando a versão antiga, você deve excluí-lo e criar outro.
      2. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
        DolphinMasterMB Author
        You have to: Deactivate the addon from all worlds, then fully delete the older addon, then download and install the new version from Modbay and activate it in your world again! Also keep in mind the game sometimes has a cache/duplicate version! Ignore it and make sure to get the correct one on activation! Cheers! ; )

          Cheezy Guest
          I’ve tried those methods and it still doesn’t work. Im still experiencing old knocker behaviors like sensitive stare trigger. It only works if I make a completely new world so I’m not sure if this is a glitch or bug that affects previous old worlds from registering the new update to this addon.

            DolphinMasterMB Author
            My addon updates usually don't stack unfortunately(I just cant keep track of the many numbers lol!😅)! Please make sure to deactivate the addon from "all" existing worlds it's enabled for, before deleting >> downloading >> installing >> activating or reactivating the addon in new or existing worlds! Also make sure to ignore the fake duplicate "cache" packs! Sometimes Minecraft Worlds remember both the old and new versions, even when deleted! Cheers!😆🤔👍🤗😉

    como le hacen para poner el mod en Maincraft? Lo intente de todas formas y no me deja :'(

    ¿fue borrado o algo asi?
    1. a mi si me funciona! lo usé en celular y lo instalé por el mediafire
