Deja Vu

by we3mendi

Deja Vu is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 that replaces ordinary play with a slow psychological horror sequence in which the world gradually decays.

What it does

Instead of sudden jump scares or giant screaming monsters, the horror builds through a slow, inescapable decay of the world, leaving the player with a persistent sense of being watched and of not belonging in the game. The mod is organized into four stages. In the first, colors drain from the scene, the ground loses its grass, and blossoms give way to repeating dandelions. In the third, trees and Nether forests shift into rigid, repetitive lattices of oak planks.

A central figure stands at a distance among the trees and fog. Looking directly at him brings a heavy heartbeat, and he vanishes. Attacking the anomaly severely punishes the player and instantly raises Dissonance, which accelerates the rot across the world. To escape, the player must navigate winding corridors to find the center and the Glitch Beacon, a maze the player has to solve alone. The rot also spreads into the Nether and End, stripping away unique blocks and replacing them with plain Overworld material.

Deja Vu is published for Fabric only, with builds for the range above. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Four-stage decay

    The world degrades in four stages, from drained colors and warped flowers to a shattered ground and a purple sky.

  2. Block degradation

    Valuable blocks such as ores and Ancient Debris turn into cobblestone as the simulation tries to save memory.

  3. Dissonance mechanic

    Attacking the anomaly instantly raises Dissonance, which speeds up the rot spreading across the world.

  4. Glitch Beacon maze

    Escape requires finding the center of a winding corridor maze and reaching the Glitch Beacon.
