About this Mod
Null Presence
IF THE MOD NOT WORK, RENAME IT AND REMOVE THE WORD NULL IN THE NAMESPACE.
Null Presence is an atmospheric horror mod for Minecraft Forge 1.20.1
It adds a silent entity known as Null, a dark presence that watches, appears, disappears, and slowly makes the world feel wrong. Null is not designed as a boss, a combat mob, or a destructive monster. It is meant to create tension through uncertainty, rare encounters, strange sounds, visual traces, and the feeling that something is nearby even when nothing is visible.

How Null behaves
Null can appear in different ways depending on the situation.
It may appear behind you while mining, walking, jumping, or cutting wood. It may stand far away and stare at you. It may appear near windows, inside your base, or behind you in small mine tunnels. Sometimes it leaves only a trace. Sometimes it does nothing at all.
If you look directly at Null, it usually disappears.
The mod is built around atmosphere, tension, and doubt rather than constant jumpscares.
Configuration
Null Presence includes an in-game configuration system.
Use:
/function null_presence:admin/config
You can configure multiple systems, including:
- spawn delay;
- core appearances;
- audio and pressure events;

- traces;
- advancements;

/function null_presence:admin/status
Important notes
Null Presence is currently released as a alpha.
Some events may lightly affect the world, such as placing redstone torches, signs, or small traces. The mod does not make Null deal damage, and Null is not intended to destroy your base.
For the best experience, play in survival mode with sound enabled and avoid forcing events too often through commands.
- French and English are supported.
