Backrooms: It Followed You

Version 1.5 — Branding, Nightmare Mode & Horror Polish

Added

• New mod logo and display name: Backrooms: It Followed You.
• Occasional five-second fluorescent-hum dropouts followed by nearby footsteps.
• Optional Nightmare mode: 10% faster pursuit, 18% greater hearing range, shorter encounter retries, and no automatic green exit trail.
• /backrooms nightmare on|off, /backrooms help, and /backrooms status.
• Saved Nightmare preferences that persist across respawns.

Retained

• Four full-body attack animations, including a finisher-style strike.
• An unkillable monster immune to damage, knockback, pushing, and explosion impulses.
• Gameplay sound-meter HUD, sight/hearing-based pursuit, and persistent post-escape Overworld stalking.

Fairness & accessibility

• Manual /backrooms hint remains available in Nightmare.
• Quiet hiding behind cover still works.
• Attacks retain their wind-up, contact timing, and recovery.
• Reduced-scare mode suppresses the new tension effects.
• Standard difficulty remains the default.

Compatibility

• Minecraft Java 1.20.1, Forge 47.4.0+, Java 17.
• Install version 1.5 on both client and server.
• Existing worlds and escape progress are preserved. Back up saves and remove older mod JARs before updating.

Testing
Build, dedicated-server combat/immunity checks, release-feature checks, and Standard/Nightmare stealth regressions passed. Full graphical-client and multiplayer playtesting is still required.
