STILL WATCHING

The world is larger. The silence is worse.

An atmospheric Minecraft horror-survival modpack where distant noises, fog-covered terrain, relentless encounters and dangerous exploration turn familiar survival into a constant test of nerve.

THE FOG IS NOT EMPTY. THE SILENCE IS NOT SAFETY.

INSTALL ON CURSEFORGE INSTALLATION GUIDE

IMPORTANT • UPGRADING FROM V1.1.2?

V2.0.0 substantially changes Overworld, Nether, End, structures and mapping. Back up old worlds, install to a fresh profile and create a new world for the intended experience. Migrating a world without testing can leave terrain seams, removed-mod remnants and changed generation.

01 / THE EXPERIENCE

The rules are familiar. The world isn't.

You still mine, craft, build, explore, fight and try to make it home. But in Still Watching, an ordinary journey can become a terrible idea. The weather closes in. Your footsteps echo. Something moves beyond your view distance. A reassuring light may be farther away than it looks.

This pack builds fear through atmosphere, stalking threats, sound design and exploration—not simply through the number of monsters it can fit into a cave.

02 / HORROR & ATMOSPHERE

You may hear it before you see it.

AmbientSounds 6, Sound Physics Remastered, Presence Footsteps and Cave Dweller Sound Overhaul give the landscape an uneasy soundtrack. EnhancedVisuals, Fresh Animations and other visual resources strengthen the sense that Minecraft is not behaving as it should.

The threat roster includes The One Who Watches, The Anomaly, The Man From The Fog, From The Fog, Cave Dweller Reimagined, The Knocker, The Mimicer, The Midnight Lurker, GoatMan, Siren Head and more. Their encounters create different reasons to question a noise, a shadow or an apparently empty path.

"A closed door is not the same thing as safety."

Headphones are recommended. Directional sound is part of the experience.

03 / WORLD & EXPLORATION

There is more out there. That's the problem.

V2.0.0 rebuilds world generation around a more deliberate exploration experience: dramatic landscapes, unfamiliar horizons, reworked dimensions and destinations worth taking risks for.

04 / TOOLS, SURVIVAL & FRIENDS

Preparation helps. It does not guarantee a return.

The pack adds useful ways to travel, defend yourself, recover from mistakes and coordinate with friends. These systems support the survival loop without removing the reason to fear the dark.

• Navigate: Xaero's Minimap and Xaero's World Map help keep track of the world.
• Fight: Timeless and Classics Zero Guns expands weapon options; TACZ: Durability introduces wear and upkeep.
• Recover and defend: Traveler's Backpack, Corpse and Security Craft provide practical survival tools.
• Play as a group: Simple Voice Chat, FTB Teams and FTB Quests support communication and shared progression.

For dedicated servers, use the exact matching pack release, Forge build, required configuration and world-generation files. See the server setup guide before attempting manual deployment.

05 / VISUALS & PERFORMANCE

Atmosphere is essential. Shaders aren't.

Recommended starting point: 5 GB allocated RAM minimum, 6–8 GB preferred where system memory permits; Java 17 when needed; 8–10 render-distance chunks if performance is uncertain. Lower or disable shaders first when troubleshooting frame rate.

06 / START PLAYING

Go in prepared.

1. Open the official Still Watching CurseForge page or find the pack in the CurseForge App.
2. Confirm the creator is Soumyajit and select the intended Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge release.
3. Install to a clean profile. Allocate at least 5 GB RAM, or 6–8 GB where appropriate.
4. Launch without extra mods, shaders, resource packs or copied old configurations.
5. Create a new test world. Check world generation, controls, sound, maps and performance before investing in a long-term save.

Important: The GitHub repository ZIP is source/documentation material, not the playable CurseForge installer.

08 / GUIDES, UPDATES & SUPPORT

Everything you need, without the guesswork.

Playable releases are hosted on CurseForge. The repository contains project documentation, the maintained content list, support information and issue tracking.

• Official downloads and release history — CurseForge files.
• Changelog — V2.0.0 changes and migration details.
• Content list — documented mods, shaders, libraries and resource packs.
• Installation and troubleshooting — clean setup, performance and backups.
• Server guide — safe multiplayer deployment.
• Report an issue — reproducible problems with logs.

For bug reports, include the pack and Forge versions, a clear reproduction path, whether the save is new or migrated, additional modifications and latest.log or the crash report. Test a clean profile first when possible.
