craftaimine (horror)

by jakibek

craftaimine turns an ordinary survival world into a slow horror story, where small oddities in chat and logs gradually escalate into events around the player.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.20.2

What it does

The story starts quietly. A player may notice a strange chat message, an odd cave line in the logs or something that does not add up, and most players ignore it at first. As the game goes on, the AI starts reacting to the player, and observations give way to whispers and strange events, especially at night. Eventually the AI stops watching and begins to come after the player.

The story is split into several phases, and every phase introduces new events, new mechanics and new parts of the plot. How far a player gets determines how the story develops, and the full story takes around 10 hours, depending on how the game is played and how quickly. Events are hidden throughout the world, and the story ends in a multi-stage final fight. The mod does not require heavy background processing, and most of the AI behaviour runs through ordinary Minecraft events and game logic.

craftaimine runs on Forge for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, and it is needed on both the client and the server. It works in singleplayer and multiplayer. The author recommends singleplayer for the most coherent version of the story. On multiplayer servers each player keeps a separate AI state, so the AI may react differently to different players and events need not unfold identically for the whole group. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Gradual escalation

    Small anomalies in chat, logs and the world build into whispers, strange events and an AI that begins to pursue the player.

  2. Phased story

    The story is split into several phases, each adding new events, mechanics and story pieces as the player progresses.

  3. Hidden events

    Events are placed throughout the world, so players find them by exploring rather than by following a fixed path.

  4. Multi-stage final fight

    The story closes with a fight in several stages, reached only after going through the earlier phases.

What the author says

It starts small. You might notice a weird message in chat, something unusual in a cave, or a line in the logs that doesn't quite make sense. Most of the time, you can just ignore it. As you keep playing, the AI starts reacting to what you do. What begins as simple observation slowly turns into messages, whispers, and…
