Horrors Beyond the Void

Pure horror for Minecraft: grotesque creatures with their own 3D models and animations, two giant bosses, and drops you can forge into the strongest gear in the game. Several creatures need a strategy, not just a sword.

Every creature was modelled for this mod (Blockbench format, drawn with GeckoLib) and every item explains itself in its tooltip. All of the mod's content is in its own creative tab.

Creatures

• The Unhinged (20 HP): a hunched humanoid with dislocated limbs. It spawns in the dark, in the Overworld and in caves, and in groups. 40% of its hits infect you (Void Infection: Hunger II and Weakness for 10 seconds). Drops Infected Flesh and Dry Bone Fragments.
• Hollow Eyes (6 HP): a floating faceless corpse with an empty socket that smokes. It spawns in the dark in the Overworld. When it dies it bursts into a cloud of smoke that blinds everything within 5 blocks for 4 seconds. Drops Spectral Dust.
• Tree Canopy Stalker (40 HP): a tall skeletal creature with long arms and mossy bark. Its claws block every blow from the front. Hit it from behind, or right-click it with a Magnesium Torch to stun it for 5 seconds. Drops Shadow Tree Claws.
• Mud Crawler (45 HP): a mass of mud and viscera with eye stalks and a toothy maw. Ordinary weapons only do a quarter of their damage, and swimmers close to it lose air three times faster and are pulled down. Right-click it with Purifying Salt to dissolve it at once. Drops Thick Slime Cores.
• Blizzard Mimic (30 HP): a pale, frozen spectre whose head turns all the way around. Drops Cursed Frost.
• Basalt Maw (120 HP): a jaw of molten basalt. Its gravity field pulls players within 10 blocks towards it and scorches those who get close. Its shell shrugs off most blows (40% damage), but explosions hit it for 250%: bring TNT. Drops Molten Basalt Plates.
• Null Stalker (80 HP): a glitching figure of floating shards. Drops a Void Singularity.
• The Torment Mother (boss, 300 HP): a giant matriarch spider with agonizing faces on her abdomen. Drops the Matriarch's Heart.
• The Flesh Monolith (boss, 400 HP): a 15-block pillar of flesh covered in trapped faces, limbs and stuck swords. Drops Primordial Flesh Essence.

The Unhinged and Hollow Eyes spawn on their own. The other creatures are placed with their spawn eggs, and every creature has its own egg.

Sounds

Every creature has its own voice (ambient, hurt and death), and the special mechanics have their own sounds: the stun flash, the dissolving crawler, the smoke burst, Void Infection, the claws blocking, the Maw's gravity, the glitch dash and the armor's rescue. The bosses can be heard from far away. Subtitles are included in English and Spanish.

Blocks and structure

• Flesh Stone: an organic decorative block.
• Dread Flame: a decorative block that glows with an eerie light (light 12).
• Flesh Ruins: a small ruin of Flesh Stone with a chest of Spectral Dust.

Food

• Infected Flesh: edible, but it gives Hunger II and Weakness I for 15 seconds.

Weapons

• Reaper Scythe (netherite tier): heals you with 30% of its damage and makes the lesser creatures around you run away. Forged from Matriarch's Hearts.
• Glitch Void Sword (netherite tier): right-click a creature in sight (up to 12 blocks) to blink behind it and strike through its armor. 3 second cooldown. Forged from Void Singularities.

Shadow Eater armor (netherite tier)

Made from Shadow Ingots.

• Helmet: night vision, and enemies within 24 blocks glow through walls (echolocation).
• Chestplate: if a blow would kill you, you survive with full health, enemies around you are frozen and weakened, and the chestplate recharges for 5 minutes.
• Full set: immunity to Blindness, Slowness and Poison.

Crafting

• Shadow Ingot (x4): Void Singularity + 2 Spectral Dust + Dry Bone Fragment.
• Reaper Scythe and Glitch Void Sword: the sword recipe with two Matriarch's Hearts or two Void Singularities and a stick.
• Flesh Stone (x4): 4 Infected Flesh and 4 Dry Bone Fragments in a checkerboard.
• Dread Flame: Primordial Flesh Essence + 2 Spectral Dust + Blaze Powder.
• Purifying Salt (x2): Dry Bone Fragment + Quartz.
• Magnesium Torch (x2): Glowstone Dust + Stick.

All recipes are in the recipe book.
