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The knocker is originally made by M_Productions!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! ; )
The Knocker supports Vibrant Visuals! Please make sure to put the extra resource pack on top of the mainpack!
Updated on July 15
- Made the stare trigger way less sensitive on popular demand from the player audience (The Knocker still minds personal space though)!
- Increased the odds for rare knocker behaviors like the psycho and the pyro knocker, etc.!
- Did some balance improvements to make room for His endless capabilities in behavior being barely used before!
- The knocker evasive behaviors are improved; He sometimes avoids the player, being super sneaky and a big creep!
- Added some more movement/walking behaviors to accent his diversity in AI!
- The knocker now casually whistles sometimes to pretend to be innocent, hiding His suspicious activity! (Try out feature, just for fun! It fits in my opinion lol!)
- Spaced the AI a bit to prepare for future updates, etc.!
- Fixed some bugs previously limiting the Knocker from being creative with His choices!
- Added compatibility for update 1.21.90 Chase the Skies!
