About this Mod
Nyctophobia adds new spooky biomes to make your minecraft adventure more thrilling and challenging. Every biome was built with a lot of attention to detail to create an immersive experience for you. Versions: 1.18-1.20.1
Biomes
- Haunted Forest: a dark and damp spruce forest wrapped in dense fog and full of danger.
- Haunted Lakes: a foggy swampland covered in blood red water. Watch your step - some say, each candle you encounter represents a lost adventurer.
- Eroded Haunted Forest: strong winds have taken out most of the trees, leaving only a barren wasteland home to the deadliest creatures.
- Ancient Dead Coral Reef: long forgotten remains of an once colorful place buzzig with life.
- Deep Dark Forest: massive trees with broad crowns darken the mossy ground. Leaving only a few places for sunlight to reach through.
