Need a scripter!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m working on a custom hostile mob for my Minecraft Forge mod called The One Below in MCreator (Forge 1.20.1). I’ve already made the model, animations, and basic AI, but I need help with more advanced scripting to get its special behaviors working.

Here’s what I’m aiming for:

• Mob hangs upside down from cave ceilings or tree leaves.
• Rotates upside down when hanging, then flips back and attacks the player when touched in Survival.
• Stalks the player silently, attacks only after a set delay, and despawns under certain conditions.
• Respawns after a cooldown.

What I have so far:

• Model + textures (made in Blockbench).
• Basic walking and idle AI.
• Animations working in-game.

What I need help with:

• Custom AI goals for hanging behavior.
• Stalking and despawn/respawn logic.
• Attack cooldown system: after five minutes from world creation, the mob will start stalking and randomly attacking the player. If it kills the player—or is killed—it will wait two minutes before resuming stalking and attacks.

Important:

• This is an unpaid collaboration — just for fun and experience.
• You will be credited in the mod description and on the CurseForge page.

If you’re interested in helping, please reply here or DM me at: royalscratch23@gmail.com. I can share the current workspace file so you can see what I’ve done.

Thanks! 🙂
