The Replace

🖤 The Hollow — A Minecraft Horror Mod

Something is watching you. It learns. It waits. It becomes you.

The Hollow is a psychological horror mod that adds a terrifying entity to your Minecraft world. It doesn't just chase you — it studies you, stalks you, and slowly becomes you.

What happens:

• It watches. You'll catch glimpses of a dark figure standing at the edge of your render distance. When you look again, it's gone. Or is it closer?

• It stalks. Your screen goes dark. Cobblestone and signs appear around you — messages it left. You turn around. It's standing right there. Then it vanishes.

• It manipulates your world. Torches go out. Doors open on their own. Creepy signs appear where they shouldn't. Items shuffle in your hotbar. You hear mobs that aren't there.

• It mimics you. It starts looking like you. Moving like you. It knows your name, your skin, your habits. Random jumpscares flash across your screen. You get teleported without warning.

• It hunts you. There is no escape. It teleports behind you. It appears in front of you. Running only makes it angrier. It will catch you.

• It replaces you. If it kills you... you're gone. Permanently banned from your own world. It took your place. Your friends won't notice the difference.

How to survive:

You spawn with a book — "How to Survive" — that contains the only way to stop it. Craft a Player Totem and use it on a villager. The Hollow will think the villager is you. It will be destroyed.

But you have to be fast. It's already watching.
