PARANOIA AYBW

Under the director system, a psychological engine tracks the player's sanity in real time and adjusts the environment in response to the player's actions. Entities spawn along paths and inside a safe zone, and one shadow materializes behind the player after 60 seconds. A bed can deal damage and teleport the player away, and a final entity triggers a sanity of 0. The mod also includes twelve unique entities with hand-drawn textures, and vanilla hostile mobs are removed so these are the only threats.

The horror draws on a VHS camera, which the player crafts to see through darkness and which adds grain, scanlines and tracking errors to the picture. Night vision carries color bleeding, and the camera runs on a limited battery recharged with rare cassette tapes. Visual horror forces a minimum gamma and blocks the view until the player has the right tools. The mod also includes file generation, disturbing audio, forced game shutdowns and fourth-wall breaking effects. Players install it on the client and on the server, since both sides need the mod. Paranoia AYBW is for Forge builds of 1.21.1, is released under All rights reserved, and is not open source.
