Minecraft From the Caves mod introduces a mysterious stalking entity that can haunt you during underground explorations, and can also stalk you on the surface.

The mod currently has two phases that unlock new events and challenges as you delve deeper and progress in a world. Modder has stated that there are two more phases under development.

The entity can interact with objects in your world, altering blocks, triggering buttons and levers, building, and more. One of the first signs of its existence is that it will remove your torches, give you the darkness effect, and attack you a few times. However, the creature will be so quick that you might not be able to catch it.

The first time you encounter it, it won’t stay confined to the caves, but rather start climbing out, as though you have awakened something you never supposed to. It’s unique in many ways, setting it apart from the typical horror mod cave dweller.

From phase two, the creature can start spawning on the surface, placing mysterious signs saying "Right behind" and appearing behind you. When the flesh, the creature looks like a slightly larger form of Steve, but its head is sliced and separated vertically from between. The face will be pale white, with wide eyes staring into nothing.

Apart from this, players will also encounter horrific cows with the same set of wide human-like eyes, changing their stance and standing on two legs, then moving around as if they are in god mode.

The mod also contains various structures that you can explore, some of which will have detailed lore about the custom world the modder has created, and the mysterious entity that haunts you.
