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 expands 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The Knocker is originally made by M_Productions!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 (spoilers)

Knocker spawneggs added:

Fresh New interactions feature:

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,
  • He can be spawned with a spawnegg(At your own risk),
  • Imagine an army of Knockers(Consider your device performance, before attempting this though),
  • Multiple Knockers can exist independently(Strong device recommended),
  • He interacts with almost all interactive blocks, doing interesting stuff,
  • He can craft weapons to expand His arsenal and learns new ways to use them!
  • He has some interesting(sometimes funny or sarcastic) things to say in chat,
  • He is terrifyingly playfull and literally a psychopath,
  • He might have been either a Chef or a Butcher before,
  • He has an huge but slightly concerning appetite for food,
  • 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 can also be silent on purpose to sneak up on you or does suspicious stuff!
  • 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 messes with items,
  • He loots your corpse,
  • 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,
  • He might have player like vibes,
  • 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! ; )

    So im trying to make a trailer for my personal realm but can't figure out the events for the knocker. I'm looking for the event were he holds the soul torch and its flickering if you could give me the event command that would be great. 👍
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      Maybe try: "/event entity @e[family=knocker] pathx" It refreshes His behaviors, then He often starts with a Torch! Cheers! ; )

    My favourite horror mod! Also I've got some suggestions, I think it would be way creepier if you hear whispering while he is near, and also the sound of the player's heartbeat.
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      He does breathe tho! Take a good extra listen! You might hear it! It's subtle! Cheers! ; )

    How to replace old version and placed It with an updated new file version?. Without losing progress/deleting and creating a new world.

    And how should I know if the "version" Is up-to-date?.
    1. não tem como fazer isso, se quiser atualizá-lo você terá que excluir a versão antiga e instalar a versão nova.

    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      He could spawn naturally at night and later at day too! Cheers! ; )

    The Mod was great at first for me but overtime it's getting repetitive and quite okay for me or might as well called it "less scary". he wasn't seem to be more "Superstitious" as like before - he doesn't even do his signature 'knocking' often or rarely - he always attack as soon as I saw look at him and that's basically the only thing he can do. no taunting, no stalking, not so surprises but I feel like that's on me...


    also, him teleporting very close to you despite being very afar seems a little unfair, it would be very realistic if you program something like attack him afar (like a bow) he'll just ran away and hide and play games with you - or he'll do full sprint if he can possibly get you

      I will consider your suggestions as far as possible! But He still does a lot of random stuff! I hear you often look at Him? I strongly recommend you don't! The addon experience is way more immersive if you ignore/avoid the Knocker instead of triggering Him on purpose! I might add a filter/randomizer to make Him less prone to instant triggers lol! Cheers! ; )
