Ransomware Horror

by n0vo_.

Ransomware is a NeoForge horror mod for Minecraft 1.21.8 that adds four entities, each with its own way of hunting the player.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT License1.21.8

What it does

Four new entities join the world, and each one tries to kill the player in its own way. One is a tall black creature that only attacks first, another is a tall monster with two faces that waits for an opening, and a third is a black humanoid with a curved spine and a huge head. A silent watcher observes the player and laughs now and then, and its main purpose is watching rather than attacking.

The mod is harmful to the player, and its lore is still a work in progress. It was made in a few days and is shared as a fresh, early release. The client and the server both need it, so players and server owners install it on both sides.

Ransomware depends on nothing beyond NeoForge and runs on 1.21.8 only, with the latest NeoForge build being 1.0.3. The author recommends pairing it with Sound Physics Remastered and some shaders for the intended atmosphere. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Four new entities

    Four hostile entities are added, each with a distinct design and a separate way of stalking the player.

  2. Silent watcher

  3. Multi-faced monster

    A tall figure with two faces pursues the player and attacks once it gets an opportunity to strike.

  4. Cave dweller

    A black humanoid with a curved spine and a huge head lives underground and hunts the player in darkness.

Use cases

Horror playthroughs

Players who want a scary survival run can add the entities to a normal world and explore with the threats active.

Shared server scares

A server owner can install the mod on both sides so every player meets the same entities during play.

Who it’s for: Players looking for a horror mod with several new hostile entities on NeoForge 1.21.8. Because the lore is still in progress, the mod suits those who want threats now rather than a finished story.
