Cave Dweller (Fabric Port)
An unofficial Fabric port of Cave Dweller Evolved by SiverDX (Cadentem), adapted to Fabric Loader 0.19.2 for Minecraft
26.1.2.
All gameplay design, model, animations, and sounds are by the original authors. This project only adapts the existing code
to Fabric.

What it does
A tall, gaunt humanoid creature spawns deep underground when nobody's watching. It stalks the player silently, rolls between
behaviors (chase, stare, flee, stroll), and disappears if you stop looking at it for too long. Distant cave noises hint at
its presence before you ever see it. Doors won't stop it. Light might.
Features
- Custom Cave Dweller mob with original GeckoLib model and animations
- 21 unique sounds (cave noises, chase, flee, hurt, death, footsteps)
- Configurable spawn timing, light level limits, dimension whitelist, and biome rules
- Climbs walls, crawls through 1-block gaps, breaks doors
- Custom spawn egg
- Configurable via
config/cave_dweller-server.json
