Hermit[RUS]
by xandet
Hermit[RUS] is a Russian-language Forge mod for 1.20.1 that tells a story of loneliness through three events, several micro-events and a boss fight.
What it does
Players meet an NPC the mod creates, who responds to conversation and gradually shifts toward a darker version of its personality. The story is told in three main events, five micro-events and a final boss encounter in another dimension. The author notes that a full playthrough takes about one hour, and that the content includes unpleasant scenes and loud sounds, so the mod is not recommended for people with heart conditions or other disorders, or for players under 18.
The mod changes the wallpaper and triggers scary videos, and some events are tied to how the player behaves toward the NPC: ignoring it or sending it away can change what follows, and losing the final event deletes the world. Hermit[RUS] is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It contains only Russian language text, and the latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released 2026-07-03. The author holds all rights, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Three main events
The story advances through three events, with the second and third including video clips.
Five micro-events
Shorter scenes such as a creature that appears for an hour fill the gaps between the main events.
Final boss fight
The last event moves the player to another dimension, where a boss attacks in three waves with 750 HP.
Wave-based encounter
Wave 1 spawns zombies and wither skeletons, and Wave 2 drops anvils and arrows from the sky for 30 seconds.
