About this Mod
No escape!
Look out for mobs that creep up on you! Behind You is a simple QoL mod that gives players a head-up when monsters are behind them! The messages are handled from the server, so even vanilla clients can enjoy this as part of your experience! As an added feature, texts sent to the player are randomized like the splash text on Minecraft’s title screen! You can add your own by modifying config/behind_you.txt.
This mod was created for NeoForge's 2025 Serverside Summer ModJam, if you want to see this mod ported to other versions of Minecraft feel free to leave a comment.
