About this Modpack

Be careful of what lurks in the shadows....it leaves you restless...and the night isn't much better.
This is a small horror modpack I made for my friends and wanted to share as we approach spooky season. There is very little gore, but it will still leave you uneasy as you walk through the forests.
Note:The biomes have been hand-picked to add the desired ambience, and the use of the shaders+resource packs accompanying this pack is HIGHLY encouraged.

Minimum 6 GB, recommended 8 GB for stable performance. per 5 players. Important: Minecraft modpacks need more RAM than vanilla – plan extra per additional player. With Mado Hosting, you can scale RAM up live at any time without data loss (from €12/month).
Can I add custom mods to What Lurks without conflicts?
Yes, but check compatibility: only use mods for the same loader (fabric) 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.
