A psychological horror framework for NeoForge


Shadow of the Soul is not a typical monster mod. It is a system-driven horror experience that tracks the player's mental state through a complex Fear Level mechanic. The environment reacts to your terror, making the darkness your greatest enemy.

CORE MECHANICS

  • Dynamic Fear System: Your fear increases in darkness, at extreme depths, and when injured. Standing in bright light is your only way to recover.
  • The Watcher: A malevolent entity that spawns behind you when your fear is high. It studies you from the shadows and vanishes the moment you try to confront it.
  • Environmental Sabotage: At high fear levels, the shadows become aggressive, actively extinguishing torches and light sources around you.
  • Auditory Hallucinations: Experience localized whispers, phantom cave noises, and an accelerating heartbeat as your sanity slips.
  • Restless Nights: High terror levels prevent sleep. The presence of the unknown will keep you awake, forcing you to survive the night manually.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Feature Trigger Threshold
Ambient Whispers 50% Fear
Watcher Manifestation 55% Fear
Insomnia & Nightmares 60% Fear
Audible Heartbeat 70% Fear
Visual Panic Bar Configurable via /fear

Commands:
/fear set [0-100] - Sets your current fear level (OP only)
/fear togglebar - Toggles the visual fear indicator


Warning: This mod is designed to create intense atmospheric pressure and psychological discomfort.
