About this Mod
Phantom Footsteps is a psychological horror mod designed to break the silence of your world. It introduces subtle, spine-chilling mechanics that make you feel like you're never truly alone.
Whether you're exploring deep caves or building in the dead of night, the mod triggers "phantom events" that play with your mind.
🌟 Current Features:
Stalker Sounds: Hear the unmistakable sound of footsteps on stone, wood, or dirt right behind you—even when no one is there.
✨ Planned Features:
The Watcher Effect: Subtle environmental cues that trigger a sense of unease, perfect for horror-themed modpacks or cinematic storytelling.
Sanity Meter: The longer you stay in the dark, the more frequent and "real" the footsteps become.
Shadow Figures: Rare, blink-and-you-miss-it visual apparitions in the corner of your screen.
Custom Curses: Items that, when held, increase the intensity of the hauntings.
