About this Mod

Sanity

Sanity: Descent Into Madness

A Minecraft mod that brings the sanity mechanic from Don't Starve into Minecraft.

Requirements



When updating, make sure to delete the config file so it's recreated and new config changes are applied. You would have to backup your own changes though.

Description

This mod adds a new vital for you to manage - sanity, your mental health scale.
Failing to keep your sanity at high levels may have drastic consequences on your survival,
including fatal outcome.

As your sanity drops, you start hearing and seeing things, your vision becomes muddy and blurry,
as well as your mind cloudy, until eventually you start getting attacked by the creations of your own mind, inner entities.

Certain mobs will also react accordingly to your unstable mental condition...

Sanity GIF

There are multiple ways to restore your sanity, as well as multiple ways to lose it. Visit the wiki to see them all.

The first thing you might want to do, however, is to craft a garland from any small flowers you encounter on your journey.
This nice little accessory should help you stay sane for a bit longer. Be wary, though, that water makes it wither away much faster!

Details

The mod is highly configurable, see configuration file.

The mod also supports dimension-specific configuration in config/sanitydim/dimension/custom_config.toml.

You're free to include this mod in your modpacks.

Known bugs
