Midnight Dreadstalker

Quickstart

1. In Creative mode, find the Midnight Dreadstalker spawn egg in the Spawn Eggs tab.
2. Use it on the ground to spawn the creature. You can also summon it with /summon midnight-dreadstalker-3r2ctidt:midnight_dreadstalker_3r2ctidt.
3. Give it space, then watch how it follows and watches you. It targets non-Creative, non-Spectator players and attacks on its own; you cannot trigger its attack by interacting with it.

Overview

The Midnight Dreadstalker is a towering hostile creature, roughly 3.6 blocks tall. It shadows a player for a full Minecraft day before closing in for a devastating strike. Its roar is a warning that it is near.

What It Adds

• One hostile mob and its spawn egg.
• A stalking encounter that builds to an attack after about 20 minutes at normal game speed.

How To Use

The spawn egg is the straightforward way to try the Dreadstalker. Place it where it has room to move, then let it choose a player to stalk. The mob cannot be tamed or commanded through player interaction.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Stalking: It watches its target and generally keeps a short distance during the waiting period. The countdown is tied to the player it is stalking; changing targets starts a new wait for that player.
• Attack: After the full-day wait, it pursues its target and attacks when very close and in clear sight. The attack deals 40 damage before armor and other mitigation.
• Toughness: It has 400 health and does not despawn on its own.

Progression And Strategy

Keep distance and use solid cover to break line of sight. The Dreadstalker cancels an attack if it loses sight of its target or the target moves out of reach, including during its attack. Don’t assume it is harmless while it waits: after its stalking period, it moves in to strike.

Crafting And Obtaining

The spawn egg is available in the Creative Spawn Eggs tab. No crafting recipe is available for it.
