Static Hollow - Dead Channel

Static Hollow, ready to play. Static Hollow is a creepypasta survival horror mod for Minecraft 26.3 (Fabric). This modpack is the way it's meant to be played: the shaders already switched on and tuned for it, its HD and bump-mapped textures, the guns, the seasons, and everything set up for you.

THE BIG UPDATE (1.63.3)

Built on Static Hollow 1.63.3: all eight chapters, from the Forsaken Altar to the Dead Water, the Undertow that stalks you in the Black Below, the submarine Orpheus you walk around inside, the mod's own music, gear for every chapter, and the cold and the thirst. Everything that's new is on the mod's page.

The horror

Every world has a Forsaken Altar. Wake it, and nine creepypastas hunt everyone in the world, mostly in the dark: the Hollow Neighbor that taps on your window pretending to be a friend, Stitchjaw crawling up the walls, the Broadcast you mustn't look at, the Underneath waiting under your bed, the Antlerkin that runs you down at night, and something that only watches. Further in: the Hollow Saint in its cathedral, the things from the woods, the Flesh that eats the world, the Static, the Door at the End of the World, the First Signal, and a dead green sea two thousand blocks deep.

The world itself is drained: a grey, bruised sky, thick cold fog, murky black-green water, a red sun and a moon with a face, and every texture redrawn at 4x.

What's in the pack

• Static Hollow 1.63.3, the mod.
• Shaders, on from the start: Iris and Sodium, with Photon set up for Static Hollow (and Hysteria and Insanity, each with its own Static Hollow preset).
• Static Hollow: HD Models and Static Hollow: Shader PBR, switched on; Static Hollow: HD World, installed but off (turn it on in Resource Packs if your PC has the memory).
• Guns: Timeless and Classics Guns: Zero (Refabricated), with Static Hollow's own gun pack built into the mod, and Forge Config API Port, which it needs.
• The world: Biomes O' Plenty (with TerraBlender and GlitchCore), Serene Seasons, Puddles & Floods and Streams: Reflowing. Static Hollow fits its structures, fog, music and seasons to them.
• First-person Model and Not Enough Animations to see your own body; Lithium and Entity Culling for speed; Sound Physics Remastered, installed but switched off, because Static Hollow does every sound's reverb itself.

Also supported: Static Hollow supports Water Erosion and Cinematic Interactions. They aren't part of this modpack.

Playing

• Make a new world: the sky, water and clouds are part of the world's data, and the deep oceans and the Hollow's own biomes only appear in new worlds.
• Give the game 8 GB of memory (the pack asks for it; the modpack's ... menu -> Profile Options -> Allocated Memory).
• It aims for 60+ FPS with the shaders on. If it dips, pick the Medium or Low profile in Shader Pack Settings, lower the shadow resolution to 1024, or lower the render distance. The K key turns the shaders off.
• Multiplayer: open your world to LAN, or run a Fabric server with Static Hollow and Fabric API, plus TaCZ and Forge Config API Port for the guns and Biomes O' Plenty, TerraBlender, GlitchCore, Serene Seasons, Streams: Reflowing and Puddles & Floods for the world. Everyone joining uses this modpack.
