Last Update:

Version: 0.1.0 – First Anomaly
Date: 2026-01-07
Highlights: Initial release; Implemented The Watcher entity; Added "Crash Report" mechanic; Enabled global visual glitches and hallucinations.
Status: BETA

Uncanny is not just a creature mod. It is a manifestation of broken code. The boundary between the game and your computer screen is dissolving. Are you sure you are playing alone?

The Anomalies

The world around you is degrading. Visual glitches, fake crashes, phantom players, and an entity born from a rendering error.

Detected Anomalies:

Visual Glitches: Dead pixels on your screen, inverted controls, and corrupted UI elements.
Paranoia: You will see chat messages from players who aren't on the server. You will hear footsteps behind you. Torches will extinguish for no reason.
The Watcher: An entity resulting from a texture mapping error. It watches from a distance. If you get too close, your connection will be terminated.

The Crash Report

You may find an item called the Crash Report. Using it triggers a fatal system error simulation.

Note: The mod does NOT actually crash your game client or damage your PC.
It simulates a crash by kicking you from the world with a realistic error message

Configuration

All features are fully configurable via the config file. You can customize the experience to be a subtle psychological horror or a nightmare.
