About this Modpack
Introduction
A horror modpack that overhauls the vanilla game to be scarier & more difficult - mobs are more dangerous, nights are unrelenting, theirs terrifying monsters lurking behind the fog, in the depths of caves - waiting for you... & myserties to unravel
Mods
Performance: Uses the 'Optimalsation/Optimax' modpack as a baseline which is the fastest performing modpack avalible for Minecraft!
QoL: Mods that make minecraft more user friendly, accessible and enjoyable like more intuitive keybinds, mouse handling, & much more
Exploration: Mods that tweak existing terrain, biomes, etc - along with mods that add new structures to the game. This makes exploration way more interesting
Mobs: 1) Mobs are now stronger, with either special effects or dealing more damage!
2) A entity that lurks just behind the fog, stalking you... haunting your world with random mysterious changes. Even if you don't see him, he will always have his eye on you...
3) A very powerful creature lurks in depths of caves, they're fast and powerful, do not engage. Mining is extremely dangerous, always be on alert! Your life depends on it
Full vs Lite
Expanded: Includes more mods making the game less vanilla-friendly, & is also less performance
Lite: Closer to vanilla Minecraft & more peformance friendly
Recommendations
Keep your render distance low (4-8 chunks) so seeing off in the distance is harder, making the fog denser and adding a sense of mystery
Enable all the resource packs the mod comes with and the HorrorBSL shader
Disclaimer
I include my own "Options.txt" file in order to ensure the resource packs are applied by default and in the correct order. However this file also copies all my other settings from FOV, keybinds, sensitivity, etc, so be sure to tweak things to your own preference because some of them will be different from vanilla

Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (forge) and same Minecraft version (1.20.1). Common issues: ID conflicts with recipe mods and incompatible coremod versions. The Mado dashboard mod browser only shows compatible mods and warns about known conflicts.
