The Broken Script: BLACKOUT
by rand9_9
The Broken Script: BLACKOUT is a NeoForge addon for The Broken Script that adds loud sounds, flashing lights and entities that can appear early in a playthrough.
What it does
The addon extends The Broken Script, a Cursed mod by rand9_9, and is meant to be played alongside it rather than on its own. It is built to fill gaps in the lore of the original mod, and it adds entities and events that the author describes as making the original's presence felt earlier in a playthrough. Where the original sets a slower pace, this addon gives entities and events a faster schedule, with new content arriving over a period of days.
The mod is a client and server addon for NeoForge, released for 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 1.4.7 dated 2026-06-12. Both the server and every player need it, and The Broken Script must be installed as well. The license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. The author's notes warn that some events delete the world or open pop-up windows, and that the mod should be installed by following its instructions. A toggleable configuration option exists for world deletion, and Quiet Mode is available as an optional dependency for players who want quieter sounds.
Key features
Extended entity set
Adds a set of entities that can spawn in the world, extending the cast of the original Broken Script.
Timed events
Seven events are scheduled across in-game days, so new entities appear gradually rather than all at once.
Loud sound and flashing effects
Some events use loud sounds and flashing lights, which can be disabled through the configuration.
Configurable world deletion
One event can delete the world, and a config option can turn this behavior off.

How it compares
The Broken Script: Additions is also a NeoForge addon for 1.21.1, client and server, under All rights reserved, so it fits the same setup. The Broken Script Plus covers the same version and environment with the same license. THE VOID // void.jar is another client and server NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, but it is a separate project rather than an addon for the original. HandsOfTheVoid.jar differs by targeting 1.21.8 – 1.21.11 instead, and is also client and server and All rights reserved.
