The Rise of Slender
by Voxla
In The Rise of Slender, a Forge mod by Voxla, Slenderman's threat spreads through a dark biome that players must survive across eight pages.
What it does
The mod adds Slenderman-themed content: three new mobs, a new biome called the Tainted Forest, a Tainted Wood variant, and new structures. The Tainted Forest is a dark, shadowy forest that generates in the overworld; once a player enters it, night falls quickly and slowness is applied. Pages are found inside landmarks and special structures in the forest.
A Slender gamemode is turned on through gamerule options when a world is created. In it, Slender spawns mainly in the Tainted Forest and stalks the player. He grows faster as the player collects pages, and after eight pages he may leave the forest to seek the player out. A Proxy appears when a player dies near Slender, and it tries to kill anyone who gets close while its sight is poor; a Hoodie stalks from a distance and runs off when approached. The Rise of Slender is released under the MIT License and is published for Forge on 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, with the latest file 0.9.03 for 1.20.1. Server and clients both need it.
