The Boy and the Bath (prototype!)
by Beanerism
The Boy and the Bath is a Forge prototype for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds a horror creature and themed structures inspired by an analog horror video.
What it does
The mod is built around an analog horror short about a boy and a bath, created by Doctor Nowhere, which the author stretches into a longer story with a disturbing atmosphere. The author describes the project as early in development, with a prototype release that has not yet been playtested, and asks players for feedback and ideas.
The central creature is Guilt, which is meant to watch, track down and kill the player. Two other versions of Guilt exist; they serve only to stalk and watch the player from a distance. Players can also be randomly teleported into a torture dimension or into an existing sleeping location. Three structures relate to the story, and a set of random events and sound effects is added to make the atmosphere more frightening.
The mod requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with version 0.3 as the latest file. The license is All rights reserved, so the project is not open source.
