Distant Friends Mod 1.20.4, 1.19.4

The Distant Friends Mod adds an unsettling twist to Minecraft. You’ll spot player-like mobs standing around your world, moving and acting almost like real players. They punch the air, crouch, and go about their business. But the moment you approach them, they disappear. No drops, no death animation. Just gone.

What This Mod Does

This is all about atmosphere and mystery. The mod spawns distant friends throughout your world. They look like players and do player things, but something’s clearly off. It’s the kind of mod that makes you second-guess what you’re seeing.

Features

• Player-like mobs that perform realistic actions like punching and sneaking
• Mobs vanish instantly when you get near them, adding an eerie, unpredictable element
• Creates tension and curiosity as you explore, never quite sure what you’re looking at
• Works seamlessly in survival and creative worlds
