About this Mod
This mod adds a rare visual event where a Running Skeleton briefly crosses the player’s screen during gameplay.
By default, the event has a 1 in 5000 chance to trigger per game tick. Since the game runs at 20 ticks per second, the random check occurs 20 times every second. If you want the event to occur at a true “1 in X per second” rate, you must multiply your desired value by 20 when configuring the chance.
Important information before downloading:
- The mod must be installed on both the client and the server for multiplayer use.
- The mod was created using MCreator and relies on the player tick event.
- Because the logic runs every tick, it may have a minor performance impact, particularly on lower-end systems or in heavily modded environments.
This mod does not add gameplay advantages or progression changes; it is purely a cosmetic/random visual feature.
