A Minecraft horror mob

Timbershriek

The forest remembers every tree you fell.

Minecraft 1.20.1 · Fabric · requires Fabric API

You've cut down your last tree in peace.

Timbershriek adds a single, relentless predator to your world — and the only thing that summons him is the sound of your own axe. Fell a log, day or night, and he may already be striding out of the treeline toward you. He shrieks, he hunts, and he does not stop until you are dead or gone.

Killable — but he doesn't go quietly.

🪓

Summoned by your axe

Every log you chop is a gamble. There's a chance he spawns in the distance and comes straight for you — the only thing that brings him into the world.

🏃

Faster than a sprint

On open ground you do not outrun him. Hesitate, catch on terrain, and he closes the gap in seconds.

🌊

Nowhere is safe

He swims after you across open water and climbs walls spider-style. Rivers and cliffs only slow him down.

🪵

Wood won't save you

He shrugs off every wooden tool as if it were nothing. Bring stone or better — or bring nothing at all.

👁️

The eyes in the dark

Blank white eyes that glow through the night, above a mouthful of long fangs — and a shriek that is decidedly not a zombie.

💨

Then he's gone

Break far enough from his reach and he melts back into the forest in a wisp of smoke — until the next tree falls.
