Dead Man's Abyss

Mod Features

This mod adds a unique night event to the game that completely changes gameplay in the overworld. The event can be activated in two different ways: randomly after the player visits the Nether or by dropping blind quartz into water.

Key Mechanics

During the event, regular mobs stop spawning, though existing ones don't take damage from light. Instead, special creatures appear that track the player by sound. The more noise you make, the larger the detection radius of mobs becomes for the duration of that sound.

Visual Changes

The mod uses special shaders that make dark areas almost pitch black. Mushrooms temporarily transform into glowing light orbs that repel darkness, returning to their normal appearance after the event ends.

Technical Details

The event only affects the overworld - the Nether and End remain unchanged. Everything ends naturally at dawn. The mod was created specifically for the SpookyJam 2018 competition.
