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The knocker is originally made by M_Productions!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! ; )

    PLEASE add a way to limit his spawning, I thought it would've been fixed by now but the knockers spawn rate is insanely high.

    hi dev! im super excited for the updates on this mod, it's awesome so far! i noticed your other comment about his speech update, and i was wondering if you're going to use premade lines or maybe use ai text generation? im unsure how to do that as im just learning how to code, but i think ai text generation would be really cool!!
    (though, a lot of people are against ai ((including me as im an artist)), so im unsure how you would create it lol!! CX best of luck to you!)

      I will probably not make it too complicated lol! I plan to use a simple randomizer with various texts to choose from lol! Cheers! ; )
  7. i love this mod SOO MUCH I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I HAVE A HORRIBLE CRUSH ON HIM
    but also i noticed a slight oversight.... whenever he gets hostile and attacks mobs, sometimes he'll target mobs he cannot reach (such as flying mobs and mobs underground...)
    i'm not complaining though, as sometimes this results in him jumping into ravines trying to kill a random bee. which is.. really funny. i don't think it's intentional though. XD

      This is kinda intended lol! He will find His methods eventually lol! Cheers! ; )
      1. AWW THATS KINDA CUTE, he's just a silly guy... thank u for replying!!!
        i can't wait to see future updates!!!
        (.◜ω◝.)🩵
  8. I like this mod so much and it sometimes give me a spook too. But, one thing is that, dose he ever say anything else other then the thing he said in the game? I mean, this mod is already spooky and scary enough but, i want to be more scarier. Also, HE CAN BREAK DOOR?
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      He either knocks on, opens or breaks doors yes lol! His speech is planned to be updated, but got delayed due me being busy having other priorities! Sorry lol! Cheers! ; )

    hai! me and my friends are enjoying the add-on so far, but we have a little problem - we came to the place with deep caves, and the knocker seemed to disappear and stop bothering us..i hear whistling in the caves, however, but can’t find him. will he change his location and get out soon by himself or we have to find him so he could reappear again?
    1. No avatar image
      rookvillover Guest
      oh, and in addition - i hear his whistle only when i am in caves. in other places there is no signs of him
    2. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      He might have set base in the caves lol!👀 He comes out eventually! He adapts and does weird random stuff completely by Himself lol! Cheers! ; )
  11. Hola! I really love this add-on
    For the developer I would like to know if you are going to continue working on this project (please) And if you do a little sneak peak, that would be great! Cheers.

      I still plan to, but I'm very busy, shifting priorities often lol! Stuff comes eventually! Still cooking lol! Stay tuned! Cheers! ; )
  12. Ayo, ay! It’s ya boy Loc, fool! I’m that knocker hunter — strapped up, ruthless, ya remember me now, huh? Don’t even front. I used to post it on YouTube, keepin’ it lit for the streets.

    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! 😅)
          1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
            DolphinMasterMB Author
            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. :) 😅
