Midnight Madness
by kotishe666
Midnight Madness is a Forge cursed-themed mod that adds demons, souls and horror-styled mobs, and it needs Geckolib to run.
What it does
Demons, souls, horrors and death form the core of the content. The mod adds creatures and items that draw on a dark theme, and it names its own features around fear and mortal danger. Players who prefer a darker tone than vanilla Minecraft will find the additions fit that direction.
Geckolib is a required dependency, so it has to be installed alongside the mod on Forge. The mod is published for Forge only, and files cover 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 2.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest release. Because it runs on both client and server, the server and every player need it. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Compatibility with other mob mods is part of the design. A config file named Midnight Madness Compatibility lets server owners enable soul drops from mobs mods, and Alex's Mobs and The Twilight Forest are named among the mods the author lists as supported. Supported languages are also listed on the project page.
Key features
Demon and horror creatures
Demons and horror mobs populate the mod, extending the mob list with creatures built around fear and death.
Soul drops
Mobs from other mod packs can drop souls, and a config option enables this compatibility on the server.
Dark world themes
Born Chaos and related content bring a cursed theme into the world, suited to survival and horror playthroughs.
Alex's Mobs and Twilight Forest support
The author notes compatibility with Alex's Mobs and The Twilight Forest, so their mobs can take part in the soul system.

How it compares
The Midnight Lurker is a Forge mod for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, released under the MIT License, and both the server and players need it. Sanity: Descent Into Madness is a Forge mod for 1.16 – 1.20.1 under the MIT License, also needed on both sides. Disease of Madness is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and either side can run it alone, with neither needing it; it is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
