IRS
by scriptifid
IRS is a NeoForge horror mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 in which a tax collector entity pursues players who fail to pay taxes within one in-game day.
What it does
The mod adds a small set of frightening entities, with the Tax Collector as the central threat. Players who do not pay their taxes within one in-game day find the collector coming after them, and the story is built around that deadline. The mod is set up as a horror experience about paying taxes rather than a survival or progression system.
IRS runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1, and the latest file is 2.0.0 for 1.21.1, released 2026-04-03. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. The author describes the project as early in development, with bugs expected and the mod intended for entertainment only.
Key features
Tax Collector entity
A tax collector creature pursues players who do not settle their taxes within one in-game day.
Additional horror entities
A few more entities are added alongside the collector, each built to be frightening rather than to fight.
Deadline-driven pressure
The one-day window to pay taxes sets the timing of the threat, so players must track the in-game day.
Tuned for headphones
The author recommends wearing headphones to get the full audio experience of the scares.
