Description

Night Shift

A security-guard horror mod. Clock in at dusk. Survive until 6 AM.

You took the night job. The pay is good. The mannequins weren't supposed to move.

Build your own security office anywhere in your world: a desk, a few cameras, steel shutters in the doorways. At night, clock in. From 12 AM until 6 AM, the night crew walks toward your office one camera at a time, but only while nobody is watching.

How a shift works

  • Watch the cameras. Press V at your desk to open the camera feed. It's a real live view from each camera block in your world, with night vision, static and a map of every camera.
  • They only move when unwatched. A mannequin you're watching on a feed, or looking at yourself, stays put. Look away, and you'll hear plastic clatter somewhere closer.
  • Close the shutters. Z and X slam your left and right shutters. A mannequin waiting at a closed shutter gives up and goes back to the start. If the doorway is open, it comes in.
  • Mind the power. Cameras and closed shutters drain power. At 0%, every shutter opens, the feed goes dark, and you wait in the dark.
  • Stay at your post. Walk away from the desk and you forfeit the night. Sleeping isn't allowed.
  • Get paid. Make it to 6 AM and you're paid in emeralds. Every night after that is harder: more mannequins, moving faster.

Getting started

Block Recipe What it does
Security Desk glass pane, redstone, planks Your office. Right-click at night to clock in. Sneak + right-click to clock out.
Security Camera (x2) iron nuggets, glass pane, redstone Place up to 8 within 64 blocks of the desk. They face you when placed. The farthest camera is where the crew starts.
Office Shutter (x8) iron ingots, redstone Fill one or two doorways near the desk (within 10 blocks). Touching shutters move as one door.

All three are in the Redstone creative tab.

Tip: put the far camera somewhere creepy (a stage, a basement, the end of a long hall), and the rest along the route to your office.

Controls (rebindable)

  • V: camera feed (A/D or 1-8 to switch, click the map, V/Space/Esc to leave)
  • Z / X: left / right shutter

Config

config/nightshift-common.toml

  • difficulty: how often mannequins move
  • powerDrain: how fast power runs out
  • lethal: getting caught kills you (default), or just hurts

Info

  • Forge 1.20.1, needed on client and server. Works in multiplayer, where each guard runs their own shift.
