Grippers
by MushinMan
Grippers sends players into a custom dimension where things that living players should not find are waiting, and the three bosses there are tied to the story.
What it does
The mod is a horror-comedy built around exploration and discovery. Items, lore and messages are scattered through the custom dimension, and the author leaves the rest of the story for players to uncover. Killing a boss ends one part of it, and some things can be brought back after they fall, so a player who stops after one fight may miss part of the content.
Grippers requires Fabric API and Geckolib. Both must be installed next to it on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1, which is the only game version with files. Both sides must run it: servers and players alike need the mod. The code is not open source, and the mod is released as All rights reserved.
The author describes the release as a beta with a core that is playable, and states that more content is coming. Shaders are optimized for the custom dimension, but the author notes that some shaders may cause visual issues and performance drops, so players who use shaders should expect that.

What the author says
Something is wrong with your world and nobody's talking about it. Dig deep enough, explore far enough, and you'll start finding things that don't belong, messages left behind by people who aren't people anymore. There's a way through. You'll know it when you see it. What's on the other side isn't for the faint of…
