m0d_FILE
by DrRand
m0d_FILE is an ARG-style world generation mod for Forge 1.20.1 that tells a fictional story through secrets and theories.
What it does
The mod is presented as a story-driven alternate reality game, where the story is told through hidden secrets and player theories rather than a conventional quest line. The author describes its horror scare elements as secondary to that narrative focus, and says the main story is already written, with more content planned for future updates.
Installation covers client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod, and it must be played in singleplayer before it is used on a multiplayer server. The author notes that it can alter parts of an existing world, so players who join established servers should be cautious. Files target Forge for 1.20.1 only, and the latest file is 2.0.0, published on 2025-04-19.
The author recommends pairing the mod with BSL Shaders for the intended ambience, and mentions guardians that players should be wary of. The mod is all rights reserved and is not open source.
