Nullwake
by Jabberman97
Nullwake is a Fabric psychological horror mod in which strange events begin subtly and grow more noticeable as a player explores and progresses through the world.
What it does
Early on, almost nothing happens. A player who spends time outside at night, ventures underground or keeps playing normally slowly moves through hidden stages, and each stage introduces new events that become more unsettling without constant scares. The mod is built around exploration and progression, aiming to leave the player feeling that something is quietly wrong.
Strange environmental changes, unexplained sounds and distortions appear across the world, and some are subtle enough that a player may question whether they happened at all. As the anomalies grow more frequent and less predictable, the world seems to react to the player's presence. Eventually a creature appears that does not behave like an ordinary mob: it watches and follows the player, vanishes when observed too long and can reposition itself the moment the player looks away.
Nullwake is a Client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, on game version 26.1.2, with a single file: version 1.0.0, released 2026-09-02. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. Its issue tracker is the only public link.
Key features
Gradual progression
Hidden stages are reached as the player explores and spends time in the world, so the experience changes over the course of play.
Subtle world anomalies
Environmental changes, unexplained sounds and visual distortions appear in the world, some too faint to be sure of.
A creature that watches
An entity follows and observes the player, disappears when looked at for too long and repositions itself when the player turns away.
Exploration over combat
The mod is built to make exploring feel different, with unease in place of constant enemies.

How it compares
The Paranoia Effect is a Fabric client and server mod for 1.21.8 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Unsettling is a Fabric client and server mod on MIT License for 26.1.2 – 26.2, the same range Nullwake covers in part. Presence (An Ambient Horror Mod) is also a client and server mod with MIT License, but it runs on Fabric and Forge across 1.19.2 – 1.21.11, so it reaches older versions that Nullwake does not.
