Memory Leak
by Unmemorable
Memory Leak is a Fabric mod that changes a Minecraft world gradually, so that the world slowly stops behaving as expected over many hours of play.
What it does
The mod starts from a normal survival game, with building, mining and exploring working as usual. Over time the player notices the world becoming less predictable: placed blocks may refuse to stay where they were put, sounds ring out of place, and shadows at the edge of vision vanish when looked at directly. The changes build up slowly, beginning with slight distortions and strange sounds, and the terrain itself starts to decay physically and structurally while familiar blocks and biomes stop feeling real.
The mod is psychological horror rather than an action game. It has no bosses, weapons or jump scares, and it does not attack the player directly. It alters the world around the player until the boundary between the game and whatever comes after it is no longer clear. The world is also meant to hold traces of everything that happened in it, and too many of those traces cause the memory to overflow and leak into new worlds.
Memory Leak runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Fabric only, across three release versions 26.1 – 26.1.2, and the latest file is 1.0.2 for 26.1.2. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved, and public links to its source code, issue tracker and wiki are available.
Key features
Gradual world decay
Early changes are nearly imperceptible, and the distortions accumulate the longer a world is played.
Blocks that refuse to stay
Placed blocks do not always remain where the player left them, making the building space less reliable.
Wrong sounds and shadows
Sounds ring out of place and shadows at the edge of vision vanish or turn when the player looks at them.
Memory of past deaths
The world keeps a record of every death the player has had, and that record feeds into the changes.

What the author says
Memory Leak is a psychological horror mod for Minecraft that doesn't rely on jump scares, bosses, or weapons. Instead, it offers a different kind of fear — slow, creeping, imperceptible. It doesn't attack you directly. It simply changes the world around you until you can no longer tell where the game ends and…
