You shouldn’t have downloaded this mod (YSHDTM)

A psychological horror mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 by ALEX WEBKILLER.

Something is watching you in the dark. Do not look at it. Do not turn around.

The moment you join a world, a book opens in your hands:

You shouldn’t have downloaded this mod. Good luck.

From then on, the darkness keeps track of you. The longer you stay in it, the higher your Tension climbs, and the worse things get.

👁 The Faceless

A pitch-black figure, nearly three blocks tall, with arms that reach past its knees and a grin that glows in the dark.

It stands far away and watches.
It only moves while you’re not looking. Turn away, and it’s closer.
Look at it too long and it vanishes. Turn around when it’s right behind you, and it charges.
It snuffs out your torches as it passes.

A towering, hunched, pale man with long black hair, a crooked smile, and eight birch-white spider legs growing out of his back.

He announces himself with hellish laughter and the words “I’m here”.
While you watch him, he creeps slowly. Look away, and he runs. He climbs walls.
He fears torchlight.
If you can’t escape, he grabs you and drags you underground into his lair, wraps you in a cocoon of silk and webs, and feeds.
Friends can save you: hit him hard enough and he lets go.
Ordinary weapons don’t hurt him. Only something forged from light can…

You’ll find a torn note in your inventory with a recipe on it. Hover over it to see the crafting grid.

What happens when you kill The Weaver with it… you’ll have to find out yourself.

Very dense fog: grey mist by day, black by night. Creatures emerge from it as they approach.
Original soundtrack: a detuned music-box lullaby in the menu, creeping drones, metal scraping and distant bells in game.
Whispers behind your back, a heartbeat when something is near, and a low drone that swells in the dark.
Footsteps behind you, doors opening on their own, knocking, torches going out.
Signs that appear behind you: TURN AROUND. I SEE YOU. I WATCHED YOU SLEEP.
Whispers in chat from <???>. Sometimes in your own name.
You can’t sleep while something is hunting you.
Jumpscares: distorted faces and cursed photos, sometimes full screen with a scream, sometimes just a single-frame flash. Did you see that?
A Tension meter in the corner shows how close you are to the next arrival.

Everything can be tuned in game: press K or go to Mods → You shouldn’t have downloaded this mod → Config.

Config files: config/hollowwatcher-common.toml and config/hollowwatcher-client.toml.
