Unsettling

# Unsettling **Unsettling** is a small Fabric mod that adds quiet "creepy ambience" to Minecraft. You might notice odd things now and then: a distant shape, a rare chat line that feels out of place, small sounds like someone working with blocks nearby, rare fake join or leave messages, and similar slow, subtle moments. It is meant to feel unsettling, not loud jump-scare spam. ## What you need Install **Fabric** for your Minecraft version, then install **Fabric API** and **Unsettling**. That is the usual setup. ## Settings You can change almost everything in the in-game settings screen. Command: `/unsettling_config` There are also simple **timing presets** if you want "rarer" or "more often" without tuning every slider yourself. ## Multiplayer If you play on a server, the server owner decides what is enabled. Some options can be **very strong** (for example kicking you from the server or, if enabled, crashing your game). Only use those on servers where everyone agrees it is okay. ## Optional extras If you use **Mod Menu**, you may get a **Config** button for Unsettling there too. Mod Menu is not required. ## Commands ### Client | Command | What it does | |--------|----------------| | `/unsettling_config` | Opens the config screen (singleplayer or when connected to a server). | ### Server (debug and testing) These usually need permission such as **operator**. Debug commands run on **you** as a player (not from the server console). If the mod is disabled in config, they will tell you to enable it in `/unsettling_config`. For the full list in game, use: `/unsettling debug help` | Command | What it does | |--------|----------------| | `/unsettling debug clear_mimics` | Clears mod-managed mimic-style entities. | | `/unsettling debug sighting` | Sighting-style moment. | | `/unsettling debug scare` | Scare-style moment (heartbeat + darkness). | | `/unsettling debug crash_mimic` | Slow crash-mimic sequence (**strong**: use with care). | | `/unsettling debug wolves_growl` | Wolf growl moment near tamed wolves. | | `/unsettling debug cave_sound` | Cave / entrance ambient moment. | | `/unsettling debug subtitles` | Subtitle or caption test. | | `/unsettling debug tunnel` | Tunnel or miner-style moment. | | `/unsettling debug footsteps` | Footstep-style moment. | | `/unsettling debug open_door` | Tries to toggle a nearby door you are roughly looking at. | | `/unsettling debug open_door force` | Same, without the "looking at door" check. | | `/unsettling debug mimic` | Distant mimic, random skin name. | | `/unsettling debug mimic <name>` | Distant mimic; name from config or `random`. | | `/unsettling debug mimic_flee` | Distant chase or flee pressure. | | `/unsettling debug chat_message` | Test rare ambient chat line. | | `/unsettling debug break_place_sound` | Mixed break and place block sounds near you. | | `/unsettling debug break_sound` | Break sound test. | | `/unsettling debug place_sound` | Place sound test. | | `/unsettling debug pickup_sound` | Pickup sound test. | | `/unsettling debug light_flicker` | Very brief nearby lights flicker (no drops). | | `/unsettling debug join_message` | Fake "X joined the game" style line. | | `/unsettling debug mob_stare` | Nearby mobs **freeze** and **face you** for 1–3 s. | | `/unsettling debug mob_stare` | Nearby mobs **freeze** and **face you** for 1–3 s. | | `/unsettling debug bed` | Displays a **Bed Obstructed** message | | `/unsettling debug load_flash` | Displays the **Loading Terrain...** screen for a short time | ### Run a feature on another player | Command | What it does | |--------|----------------| | `/unsettling play <feature> <player>` | Runs that feature on the named player (you usually need **operator**).
