Sanity System

🧠 Sanity System – Psychological Survival
A subtle psychological horror experience for Minecraft 1.21.4 (Fabric)

What if the real enemy wasn’t a monster… but your own mind?

Sanity System – Psychological Survival introduces a hidden mental stability mechanic to Minecraft. Darkness, isolation, and fear slowly erode your sanity, causing immersive hallucinations, environmental distortions, and subtle horror events.

There are no loud jumpscares. No overpowered monsters. No constant chasing.

Instead, your world begins to feel… wrong.
