A psychological horror framework for NeoForge
Shadow of the Soul is not a typical monster mod. It is a system-driven horror experience that tracks the player's mental state through a complex Fear Level mechanic. The environment reacts to your terror, making the darkness your greatest enemy.
### CORE MECHANICS
Dynamic Fear System: Your fear increases in darkness, at extreme depths, and when injured. Standing in bright light is your only way to recover. The Watcher: A malevolent entity that spawns behind you when your fear is high. It studies you from the shadows and vanishes the moment you try to confront it. Environmental Sabotage: At high fear levels, the shadows become aggressive, actively extinguishing torches and light sources around you. Auditory Hallucinations: Experience localized whispers, phantom cave noises, and an accelerating heartbeat as your sanity slips. Restless Nights: High terror levels prevent sleep. The presence of the unknown will keep you awake, forcing you to survive the night manually.
### TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
| Feature | Trigger Threshold | | :--- | :--- | | Ambient Whispers | 50% Fear | | Watcher Manifestation | 55% Fear | | Insomnia & Nightmares | 60% Fear | | Audible Heartbeat | 70% Fear | | Visual Panic Bar | Configurable via /fear |
Commands: `/fear set ` - Sets your current fear level (OP only) * `/fear togglebar` - Toggles the visual fear indicator
Warning: This mod is designed to create intense atmospheric pressure and psychological discomfort.
