It uses small environmental changes, distant sounds, and figures you'll see standing in the distance watching you. The horror builds slowly over time. The mod tracks tension for each player based on where you are and if you're alone. Being underground, in the dark, or isolated increases your tension. Higher tension means events happen more often. You'll hear footsteps behind you, blocks breaking nearby, or get chat messages from players who didn't actually type anything. Sometimes you'll see something standing far away. There's an optional way out. Apparitions sometimes drop notes with coordinates that point to hidden pits. These pits teleport you to the Corridor Dimension, which is just endless cobblestone hallways with almost zero visibility. You need to find and press 3 trial buttons scattered throughout the corridors while dealing with aggressive apparitions. If you complete the trial, you're permanently free from all the mod's effects. Everything is configurable. You can turn off any feature or change how often things happen. The mod is harder on solo players in caves and easier on groups or people on the surface. --- <details> <summary>Features</summary> **Apparitions** Humanoid figures that spawn far away from you (sometimes nearby), sometimes copying other players' skins. They disappear if you stare at them. In caves or the corridor dimension, some will charge at you and deal damage if you look at them too long. **Ambient Sounds** Positional audio that plays around you in caves. Stone breaking in the distance, footsteps, surface animal sounds heard from deep underground. The sounds are distorted and layered to sound wrong. **Micro Structures** Small, temporary world changes that appear when your tension is high. Examples include a torch, a crafting table, a chest with notes, or stone brick patterns. Some are simple anomalies: a vertical air seam along a chunk line, an offset ground patch, a straight ground crack, or short bedrock pillars. They roll back after a few minutes. **Tension** Tracked per player. Goes up when you're underground, in darkness, or alone. Goes down in safe lit areas or villages. Higher tension means more frequent events. **The Tormentor** Rare invisible entity that spawns in caves and slowly digs through natural stone as it moves toward you. You hear the blocks breaking, getting closer. When it reaches you, it delivers a scare and disappears. **Creepy Chat** Fake chat messages that look like they came from other players or yourself. Uses your actual name. Things like "don't look", "behind you", "it knows your bed, ". **The Corridor Trial** Optional challenge dimension. Generated pits (marked by signs and notes) teleport you to endless cobblestone corridors. Find 3 trial buttons while dealing with aggressive apparitions. Complete it and you're permanently free from the mod. **Grace Period** New worlds start silent for a random amount of time (half day or full day) so you can get settled before events start. </details> --- <details> <summary>Configuration</summary> Everything is configurable through config files.
