Tax' Cave Reader
by TaknaxBo
Tax' Cave Reader adds horror-themed lore to the game, centered on the legendary story of Playa and rare audio records that are said to appear only in dungeon chests.
What it does
The mod places records, which function as audiobooks, into dungeon chests. Players who find them can read the story of Playa in parts, so the lore is gathered through exploration rather than given all at once. The mod is built for the Cave Horror Project modpack, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge on 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2026-05-11, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Story of Playa
A horror storyline about Playa is spread across records that players collect while exploring.
Audio records
Rare records act as audiobooks, and each one adds a piece of the narrative when played.
Dungeon chest placement
The records appear only in dungeon chests, so finding each one depends on searching the dungeons.
