🧠 Core Features

• Dynamic States: IDLE, STALKING, WATCHING, and CHASING.

• Advanced Pathfinding: Actively tracks and targets players.
• Combat & FX: Melee combat with knockback, lightning strike effects, camera shake support, and terrifying jumpscares.

🎛️ In-Game Configuration Screen (Fabric Only)

Press the H key in-game to open the client-side settings menu! (If H conflicts, change it in Options → Controls → Key Binds).

From this menu, you can customize everything without touching a config file. Settings are automatically sent to the server (Requires OP/Permissions on multiplayer).

Left Column (Customization & Combat)

• Entity name: Changes the name displayed above the Stalker (Default: The_Stalker).
• Skin PNG: Selects the exact skin file used.
• Name color: Supports Hex colors (e.g., #FFBF00 for orange/gold).
• Chase speed: How fast it hunts you (Default: 0.34 - Tip: Set to 0.8 for a truly terrifying chase!).
• Attack damage: Damage per hit (Default: 6.0 / 3 hearts).
• Spawn chance: Probability of a spawn attempt succeeding (Default: 0.1 / 10%).
• Lightning: Toggle lightning effects on spawn.

Right Column (Spawning & Difficulty)

• Max Stalkers/player: Limit active stalkers per person (Default: 1).
• Spawn interval: How often the game checks for spawning (Default: 20 ticks / 1 second).
• Difficulty: Changes overall behavior intensity (Recommended: HIGH).
• Auto spawning: Toggle automatic stalking ON/OFF.
• Day spawning: Allow daytime hunts ON/OFF.
• Stalker effects / Camera shake / Audio: Toggle sensory horror elements.

🎨 Custom Skins

Depending on which version you are using (Fabric Mod vs. Server Plugin), adding custom skins works differently:

🟩 For the Fabric Mod

1. Click OPEN SKIN FOLDER from the in-game H menu, or navigate directly to config/stalker/skins/.
2. Place your .png skin inside this folder (e.g., my_stalker_skin.png).
3. Open the H menu in-game and type your exact file name into the Skin PNG box.
4. Click SAVE SETTINGS.

🟦 For the Server Plugin (Bukkit/Spigot/Paper)

Custom skins require the Citizens plugin to be installed.

1. Drop the Citizens plugin into your server's plugins folder and restart.
2. Place your custom PNG skin inside: plugins/CustomEntity/skins/
3. Rename the skin exactly to: stalker.png
   (Note: If Citizens is not installed, custom skins will not work and it will fall back to the default appearance).
