nothim
nothim is a Forge horror mod for 1.20.1 that scares players with system-style events aimed at their own computer and the Minecraft window.
What it does
Scary events in the mod stage a fake crash. Loud sounds, system errors, a forced restart of the PC, programs opening on their own and explorer.exe being closed all play out while a game world is running. Warning messages from an entity tell the player it wants Minecraft to close, and glitches break textures as it tries to drive the player out of the world. The entity also dislikes being visited, so it reacts when the player returns to the same place.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with version 1.1 as the latest file on the alpha channel. Released under All rights reserved, the mod is not open source, and the author allows others to publish the mod through third-party services and make their own versions of it.
Key features
System error scares
Fake system errors appear during play, imitating the messages a failing computer would show.
Desktop interference
Programs open and explorer.exe closes, making the scare reach beyond the game window.
Forced restart event
One scripted event pretends to restart the PC, adding a sudden break to the session.
Texture glitches
Glitches corrupt textures in the world as a way of unsettling the player before they leave.
Entity warnings
A warning entity posts messages asking Minecraft to be closed and reacting to visits to its location.
