The Shattered truth

by Sillytrain5

Shattered Truth is a Forge and NeoForge horror mod in which a creature hidden in caves imitates the player's character until it reveals its true form.

What it does

Shattered Truth adds a single entity that spawns only inside caves. At a distance it looks like the player's own character, and after getting near enough it turns into its true shape. In that form it breaks blocks around it, and it stays for a few minutes before despawning. Killing it changes the world: the time turns to night, rain begins, and the mod plays sounds and places objects around the player.

Random events and a few structures are placed through the world as well, so exploration can lead to them. The mod is a semi-slow burn, and the author notes that more updates will follow. Shattered Truth requires Geckolib, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 11 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.10, under All rights reserved, which means the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Cave-only entity

    The creature spawns exclusively in caves, so it is met while exploring underground rather than on the surface.

  2. Disguise and true form

    It mimics the player's appearance at a distance and switches to its real shape once approached.

  3. Block breaking

    In its true form it destroys blocks nearby for a few minutes before it despawns.

  4. Post-kill world changes

    Defeating the entity turns the time to night, starts rain and triggers sounds and placed objects.
