A horror mod that slowly builds tension through sounds, figures, and things appearing in your world.

Description

The Forgotten

Back in Development

The Forgotten is a Minecraft horror mod focused on environmental changes, audio cues, and distant entities. The intensity of these events increases over time.

Tension System

The mod calculates a Tension level for each player based on their environment.

Factors Increasing Tension:

  • Staying underground.
  • Remaining in dark areas.
  • Being isolated from other players.

High Tension Events:

  • Auditory effects (footsteps or block-breaking sounds).
  • Simulated chat messages from other players.
  • Increased entity sightings.

Entities

  • Apparitions: Silent entities that watch from a distance and de-spawn when observed.
  • The Tormentor: An invisible entity in deep caves that digs towards the player.
  • The Observer: An entity located within the Trial dimensions.
  • The Hunter: A hostile entity in the Trial dimensions. If it catches a player, the world save file is deleted. (IF safe mode is disabled)

Sign Dialogue

Players can communicate with entities by placing a sign and writing specific questions. The text on the sign will be replaced with a response.

The Trial

The Trial is a series of dimensions used to end the mod's effects.

  1. Access: Apparitions may drop a ######## Compass*.
  2. Navigation: The compass directs the player to an entrance located deep underground.
  3. Dimensions:
    • The Corridors: Stone hallways.
    • The Library: An archive structure.
    • The Mineshaft: A labyrinthine tunnel system.

Completion: Successfully finishing the Trial permanently disables the mod's effects for that player.

Reawakening

To reactivate the mod's features after completing the Trial:

  1. Place a sign.
  2. Write the text: /summon reawake.
  3. Right-click the sign. Note: Events will return with higher frequency and aggression.

Configuration

Settings are adjustable via config files or the Cloth Config menu:

  • Feature Toggles: Enable or disable entities, sounds, structures, and dimensions.
