Th3 Cha0s (horror)
by LixyyMc
Th3 Cha0s is an ARG-style horror mod for Forge and NeoForge in which a corrupted timeline of Minecraft gradually takes over the world.
What it does
The mod presents a corrupt save on version 1.20.1, where strange events and entities slowly replace familiar parts of the game. It works as an alternate reality game: the story unfolds through what happens in the world rather than through a quest log. Random effects can hit the player's point of view at any time, and some scenes include flashing light.
Installation needs only the mod file for either Forge or NeoForge, and it runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. The mod is not a virus and does not control the computer; its scripts are built with MCreator and stay inside Minecraft. Files target 1.20.1 only, with 0.7.0 as the latest build for both loaders. The author has stated that the mod will be updated only for 1.20.1 while a second project, Th3 Cha0s 2, is in development. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source, and it does not work alongside other ARG mods.
Key features
Corrupt world events
Random events alter the world and the player's point of view as the story progresses.
Timeline narrative
The story follows a timeline in which a corrupted entity takes over Minecraft, told through in-world events.
Random effects
Unscripted effects appear during play, so no two sessions of the save feel the same.
Flashing light scenes
Some scenes use flashing light, which players should be aware of before starting.
