Don't Let it Learn

DON'T LET IT LEARN

A Minecraft horror mod about a creature that watches, studies and remembers you.

Don't Let It Learn adds a new entity called The Hollow.

The Hollow is not a normal hostile mob. It does not simply spawn and chase the player.

Instead, it watches you, studies the places you build and slowly learns from previous encounters.

What does it do?

The Hollow can appear around your world in different ways.

It may stand somewhere far away and simply watch you.

It may find your house and begin scanning it.

If a building has already been studied before, The Hollow can remember it and become less interested in scanning the same place again.

Sometimes it is more interested in you.

Looking at The Hollow for too long can interrupt what it is doing and cause different reactions. It may disappear, move somewhere else, continue what it was doing or turn its attention directly toward the player.

Not every encounter ends the same way.

It remembers

The Hollow keeps track of previous encounters.

It can remember:

• Buildings it has scanned
• How familiar it is with certain places
• Previous reactions
• How often the player has noticed or provoked it
• How familiar it has become with the player

The more it learns, the more its future behavior can change.

There is no visible meter telling you what it knows.

It can learn your routine

The Hollow can also learn repeated movement patterns.

If you regularly travel through the same areas, those routes can become part of its memory.

Later, The Hollow may use that information to predict where you are going.

You might find it standing somewhere ahead of you, waiting near a route you have used before.

The prediction is not always correct.

Changing your route can cause The Hollow to wait for someone who never arrives.

Current encounters

Building Scan

The Hollow studies player-built structures and scans parts of the building with its gaze.

Distant Observation

The Hollow appears somewhere in the distance and silently watches the player.

Window Observation

If The Hollow already knows a building, it may attempt to watch the player through one of its windows.

Predictive Observation

After learning repeated routes, The Hollow may appear ahead of the player and wait where it expects them to go.

Player Scan

Sometimes The Hollow stops studying the world around you and decides to study you instead.

Still in development

Don't Let It Learn is currently in active development.

The mod is being expanded with new encounters, sounds, animations and additional ways for The Hollow to learn from the player.

If you find bugs or have feedback, feel free to report it.

GeckoLib4 is needed.
