Nebulaphobia

by zenolth

Nebulaphobia, a Fabric cursed mod for 1.20.1, puts players into survival chases against a fog-bound entity that moves when it is not watched.

What it does

The mod centers on one hostile entity that stays hidden inside fog and advances only while the player is looking elsewhere. Looking back at it stops its approach, so chases turn on timing and attention. Escapes are possible in a survival setting, and the fight against the creature is meant to be a demanding encounter rather than a short scripted scene.

Its behavior follows a set of rules instead of a fixed route, so the creature reacts to where the player goes and how long they linger. Sound design carries much of the tension, with unsettling audio cues that signal the creature's distance. Nebulaphobia requires Fabric API, Geckolib and Trinkets on Fabric, and it can use Enhanced Celestials and [EMF] Entity Model Features when they are installed.

Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.20.1, and the latest file is 0.7.2 from 2026-03-15. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Fog-bound entity

    A creature moves through fog and closes distance only while the player is not watching it.

  2. Looking back

    Turning to face the entity halts its advance, so the player can control the pace of a chase.

  3. Escapable chases

    Chases can be broken off and survived, so the survival loop keeps some room for escape.

  4. Adaptive creature behavior

    The creature responds to the player's position and movement instead of following a fixed path.

  5. Unsettling sound design

    Audio cues mark the creature's proximity and keep the tension high during exploration.
