About this Mod
About
Oh, the Horror! is a horror-themed mod dedicated to adding characters and content from various horror franchises (with the rare exception)
I work on this mod fairly frequently, so if you think there isn't much to this mod, don't worry! More is on the way! Much, much more.
Content
Currently, the mod contains four rare mobs:
Obunga
Michael Myers
Jason Voorhees (Part 4)
Jason Voorhees (Retro)
Ghostface
Two weapons:
Kitchen Knife - should be compatible with any mod that requires a tool under the tag "forge:knives"
Machete - super effective at breaking plant and leaf blocks
One block:
Telephone - currently decorative, but a Ghostface spawning event related to the block is planned
Planned Features:
Ghostface spawning event with telephone
Corpses
Coffins and graveyard structures
Log cabin structure
More killers and franchises represented
QnA
Q: Why don't the the killers drop anything special/valuable (yet)?
A: Something may come further down the line, but for now, I'm focusing less on combat and rewards and more on representing the killers the best I can and allowing the player to live through their own horror story. Namely, I'd like to make the masked killers drop wearable versions of their masks at some point, which may also double as a trophy.
Q: What are you not willing to add?
A: Anything that'd change the game too much, such as bleeding or fear mechanics (as such things are out of my depth). I do not plan to ever add anything on the more mechanically complex side such as Xenomorphs or the FNAF animatronics, and I also will not add anything in the vein of mascot horror games such as Poppy, Banban, Hello Neighbour or Baldi.
I own none of the characters or franchises represented in this mod, and they all belong to their respective owners.
