99nightinforest
Players trapped deep inside a dark hostile forest must survive 99 continuous nights in 99 Nights Forest, a Forge horror survival mod for 1.20.1.
What it does
Each night passes and the forest grows more aggressive, with mobs becoming stronger and visibility dropping as mysterious events begin. Resources are scarce, so players must plan their moves, craft carefully and manage hunger, health and sanity to last until the end.
The mod is built around atmospheric horror. Sound, movement and shadow are used to make the wilderness feel dangerous, and its custom mobs and eerie sounds bring unexpected encounters. Installation needs Forge for 1.20.1, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Progressive night difficulty
Difficulty climbs with every night survived, so later nights are harder than the first.
Limited-visibility forest
A dark forest with reduced visibility keeps players uncertain about what is nearby.
Custom mobs and eerie sounds
Custom creatures and unsettling audio create unexpected encounters throughout the forest.
Scarce resources
Hunger, health and sanity must be managed while resources stay limited, which pushes careful crafting.
