The Murk - Darkness Consumes

Name subject to change

The Murk is a horror-themed Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that transforms darkness into a deadly threat. If you venture into the shadows unprepared, you'll face the chilling consequences of the Murk's Grasp effect - a negative status that gradually accumulates in low light levels, bringing fear and danger to your world.

Key Features

Murk's Grasp Effect

• Activates at low light levels (default: below 3) after 15 seconds in darkness, with a warning message 5 seconds before triggering
• Applies a harmful status with a dark purple hue, slowing movement by 15% and dealing escalating damage during prolonged darkness exposure
• Persists for a configurable duration after entering a lit area, with optional Blindness effect

Dynamic Light Detection

• Accounts for light sources in hands, dropped items, accessory slots (via Trinkets), and nearby players' light sources to reset the darkness timer
• Customizable light sources with adjustable brightness and water sensitivity
• Integration with LambDynamicLights for realistic light checking, requiring line-of-sight to light-emitting items

Customizable Gameplay

• Ability to customize light thresholds, dimensions (e.g., Overworld, Nether), and effect behaviors through the config/murk.json5 file
• Options to enable/disable underwater light checks, Creative mode effects, and warning messages

Additional Information

• Inspired by mods like OminousDarkness and Grue, but built specifically for Fabric
• Plans for further expansion of mod functionality with additional mechanics
