Ore Lizards

Ore Lizards: a rare cave mob hidden invisibly in stone/deepslate. It erupts and flees when you approach, then burrows away for good after 13s. Kill it with a pickaxe first for its secret ore drop (coal to diamond/emerald).

Description

Ore Lizards is inspired by dark souls' "crystal lizards"

The mod adds a passive cave creature that spends its life hidden, embedded invisibly in stone or deepslate underground. It sits dormant until a player wanders close, at which point it erupts from the ground in a burst of block particles and bolts away in a 13-second flee, scuttling away from whoever triggered. If the timer runs out before it's killed, it digs back underground, vanishing for good.

A lizard can drop one of 8 ore types (coal, iron, gold, redstone, lapis, diamond, emerald, copper), reflected by a color-tinted ore cluster on its back.

This is my first mod that adds a custom mob. Still in development. Currently a Fabric mod built on GeckoLib.

Ore Lizards adds a dark souls inspired, passive cave creature that spends its life hidden, embedded invisibly in stone or deepslate underground (below Y=0). It sits dormant until a player wanders within 5 blocks, at which point it erupts from the ground in a burst of block particles and bolts away in a 13-second flee, pathing directly away from whoever triggered it at roughly 1.9x normal speed. If the timer runs out before it's killed, it stops, bursts again, and digs back underground, vanishing for good.
