INSOMNIA may not work with all shaders! It is confirmed to work either with NO Shaders or with Complementary Reimagined. If you insist on using a different shader setup, you will need to use a dark and foggy shader to keep immersion.

FMOD Audio Engine Custom Integration

Insomnia utilizes FMOD Audio Engine, made by FMOD Studio by Firelight Technologies Pty Ltd.

For the first time, experience horror in Minecraft with the same 3D adaptive sound immersion that modern horror games use.

Time to put on your headphones, and grab an extra pair of trousers.

Haunted Mode and privacy

Insomnia includes an optional feature called Haunted Mode, which is default OFF. When you create a world, or load an older one for the first time, the game asks whether you want to turn it on. It stays off unless you click Yes, and the choice is saved separately for each world.

What it does: with Haunted Mode on, the mod can use its LLM Agent ran through Azure OpenAI Asta model to join that one world while you play and add to the horror, for example by controlling a creature, changing your insomnia level or triggering events. The agent can only access that Minecraft world, nothing else.

How it works: while you play a Haunted Mode world, the game connects to a relay server at relay.insomniamod.com that the agent has limited controls for. Nothing is ever shared except the game state with the agent, and because the connection goes through the relay, your IP address is never used. The game pauses as usual when you pause.

What gets sent: while Haunted Mode is on, the relay receives:

• Your Minecraft username (used to find and join you)
• Your current insomnia level (Internal game play stat)
• How many story events you've completed (Internal game play stat)
• How many days and nights you've survived (Internal game play stat)
• How many nightmares you've had (Internal game play stat)

This game data is only used to help make the experience more terrifying and unique to the mod. It isn't shared with anyone else.

Turning it off: type /haunt consent off in that world at any time. Nothing is sent from worlds where you chose No, and no remote networking is ever performed by the mod.

INSOMNIA

Lose your mind as the fear consumes you.

Wake up in a story-driven psychological horror mod that slowly begins to distort the world around you.

Live through nightmares, anomalies, disturbing events, and a dark story inspired by Norse mythology.

Story

You wake in a world gone foul and broken, with no name, no past, and no memory of how you came to be here. Yet one truth settles deep within your bones:

Something hunts you.

A whisper gnaws at the edge of your mind that some great horror has already come to pass, though its shape remains hidden from you.

To survive, you must cross corrupted lands, face terrors no mortal should endure, gather what little remains, and seek a place where even for a moment you may rest.

Piece by piece, memory by memory, the truth of what happened must be reclaimed.

And when the darkness closes in, you have only one hope left.

You pray to Odin, the Allfather, for guidance…

and pray that he still listens.

Nightmare Mobs

Insomnia is filled with custom nightmare creatures, twisted beings, and abominations that appear throughout your journey.

Some stalk you from the darkness.

Some wait in places you were never meant to find.

And some are better left unseen.
