The Cave Dweller Reimagined {With Unique AI}

Thumbnail: The Cave Dweller Reimagined {With Unique AI} Go to files

Adds a creepy Cave Dweller mob with adaptive AI that stalks players in deep caves, learns new abilities over time, and creates tense, unpredictable encounters.

Disclaimers:

  • It's definitely not a 1:1 Bedrock port to clear confusion! A good friend made this nice title some time ago and I chose to still use it lol!
  • Even though this addon features "unique AI", it's quite different from the Marketplace Cave Dweller! They both adapt and learn yes lol! BUT the Marketplace one is way more polished and is made by a professional studio making actual profit! This little addon is a very fun experiment made by a crazy dude with the hobby of making addons! It might be less polished, but has the benefit of being art made with passion and being ready to be improvised/improved at any time! It also might feel more natural due to having less boundaries! You will find out about those boundaries while playing! This addon just feels different, maybe slightly off! In a very good way lol!

Recommended using 4 Chunks Simulation Distance(Or lowest) for the intended spawn rate etc! As well as using Vibrant Visuals for the proper experience!

[Spoiler Warning] Some stuff that might occur in caves after activating this addon:

  • The cave dweller lurks in the caves
  • It's unpredictable
  • Slowly progressing when you are inside a cave
  • At first you might notice sounds are off
  • This will get worse
  • Eventually, you will feel like being followed perhaps stalked without being able to confirm it
  • Eventually, you will hear weird monster-like sounds echoing through the caves, those who aren't vanilla
  • At some point you hear pretty loud footsteps
  • Those will get closer and closer
  • You will start barely noticing the entity
  • It's very hideous (In early state)
  • Later, it starts playing/messing around etc.
  • From this point, quite a lot of weird random stuff can happen
  • Looking at it directly conflicts it; it responds in various kinda endless ways
  • Keeps its hideous attitude
  • It often just flees
  • It can put you off
  • It taunts/tricks you
  • It confuses you on purpose
  • Changes its attitude
  • It could be either passive, neutral, hostile
  • But also stuff in between
  • Mischievous
  • Playful
  • Sadistic
  • It's very agile too
  • It's not overpowered
  • It sticks and hangs
  • It climbs
  • It crouches
  • it peeks
  • It crawls into small gaps using this to its advantage
  • Getting too close might anger it
  • A chase can happen when or when you aren't ready
  • It has a huge environmental advantage
  • It progressively gets stronger
  • It unlocks/learns abilities
  • Some passive, some hostile and kinda nasty
  • It might learn to mine, use various tactical manoeuvres and a lot of other things you might not predict
  • It could learn to leave the caves, if the player progresses and reaches a certain level
  • It prefers darkness and uses it as coves
  • It might mess with the lighting
  • It has vicious glowing eyes (Very nice with Vibrant Visuals on)
  • Stuff happens and progresses quite slowly at random
  • Entering the Deepslate layer might wake it up early
  • The deeper you are inside the caves, the faster it progresses
  • Staying in deep caves is both risky and scary
  • It is super hideous sometimes and hides/peeks from cover
  • The AI is inconsistent in an interesting, eerie way
  • It might follow you into the Nether and eventually into the End too, if you reached a certain level
  • Any thing more to add here?

[Spoiler Alert] Some ingame sightings of this terrifying creature:

Dark cave with glowing eyes and torchlight.

Dark cave corridor with eerie glowing eyes ahead.

Player explores dark cave with new mob nearby.

Creepy cave dweller with glowing eyes lurks.

I wish you good luck inside those caves! Have fun with this ominous specimen of an addon!

Cheers! ; )

Ps: This addon is also available within Fearcraft the Experiment! Please avoid using both at the same time! This actually applies for all entities/dwellers making a return in Fearcraft the Experiment! So you know lol! ; )

Changelog for September 13, 2025 / Old Update
  • Fixed an important unlockable ability for the Cave Dweller — it's now able to utilize it at random!
  • Want some more tension? Reinstall and get this update lol! ; )

Updated on September 28, 2025

  • It could learn to leave the caves, if the player progresses and reaches a certain level!
  • It might follow you into the Nether and eventually into the End too, if you reached a certain level!
  • It is super hideous sometimes and hides/peeks from cover! (Experimental: "Might" be either changed or removed if it doesn't work)
  • Have fun mining! ; )

      Did you enjoyed it so far? Any suggestions maybe? Cheers! ; )
      1. I think a little more awareness of where the player is. I played an it scared me but when he is stalking I walk up to him and he just stands there. Only attacking when I attack him or when I am on the same block. 😅😄

  5. esqueci de perguntar, é necessário ativar recursos experimentais pra ele funcionar corretamente?

  7. Dude, Idk how your addons are so good, I suggest next addon should be like the Goat Man AI mod, now that would be scary. And add a jumpscare too, that would add to the chaos.

    Ooooh, very nice! I hope there is a way to make friends with the fellow!
    1. eu sinceramente espero que não, pois ao menos na minha opinião não faz o menor sentido
      1. foi mal aí, eu ia dizer que não faz o menor sentido você ser amigo de um dweller mas eu sem querer postei o comentário antes de completar.
