The Severed Faith (Horror)
by Jzuko3
Players entering a quiet Minecraft world find it watching them: The Severed Faith is a Forge horror mod built as a slow-burn ARG experience.
What it does
The mod imitates the look of early Minecraft Alpha and builds a psychological horror experience around an empty world that seems to hunt and observe the player. Voices and interactions drive the ARG-style story, with Wonderland.jar listed by the author as an inspiration. Its content is meant for adventure play and can change a world over time.
The mod can modify worlds and kick the player from the game. The author warns that it may eventually cause irreparable damage to game files, and that it can alter specific world files or the entire game. It contains flashing lights, sudden visual effects, graphic imagery and disturbing content, and people with photosensitive epilepsy or sensitivity to gore and horror should proceed with caution. It requires Forge for 1.20.1, and both the server and every player need it, since the environment is client and server. Version 8.3 for 1.20.1 is on the beta channel and was released 2026-07-17. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
