THE CALL OF THE FOREST 1.1 ADD-ON BY PL STUDIOS

This add-on was created by PixelNaut & TT_LAZAR (the owners of PL Studios)

OFFICIAL GAMEPLAY VIDEO > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF7r6CaH7Zg

This add-on took MONTHS to create. (May - August 2025) Lazar and I worked on this for completely free, and we would appreciate any support you're willing to give us

HOW TO PLAY

It is recommended & intended that you set up your base inside a forest. Or at the very least, near a forest. Aside from that play the game as intended, using the default add-on settings. This add-on is a slow burner, and is best experienced that way

For a quick experience, (Recording YouTube videos for example) it's recommended that you set the spawn rate and stage progression settings to their highest level. This way you can cycle through the entire agression stage cycle in about an hour

INFORMATION

The creature in this add-on is known as The Hunter. The Hunter is an extremely intelligent bear, whose only goal is to hunt and kill player(s). He'll play with you and trick as if you're his toy. You might get caught in his well place placed traps, or fall for his deceptions

The Hunter only spawns in forests. (Excluding Jungles.) He has 5 progressive agression stages, that take about 4 hours to cycle through by default. So for the first 3 or so in-game days sightings of him will be rare. You can customize settings such as his spawn rate & stage progression using The Call of The Forest Guidebook, that you spawn in with

This add-on is compatible with Vibrant Visuals

ADDRESSING THE "RIP-OFF" ALLEGATIONS

Upon the reveal of this add-on, many people claimed we (PL Studios) copied idk_someguy's unreleased Java mod "The Manbear" While we can see why users believe this, we can also 100% deny those claims. While making this add-on we knew we would have this issue, since visually the two mods are very similar. So Lazar and I conciously made the effort to differentiate our add-on as much as possible from The Manbear

As far as we're aware the only similarity between the two is that both creatures are a bear. (The Manbear is a man + bear hybrid, but tomato tomahto.) We even got idk_someguy's approval of our add-on, as seen in the screenshot below
