The Forgotten

Back in Development

The Forgotten is a Minecraft horror mod focused on environmental changes, audio cues, and distant entities. The intensity of these events increases over time.

Tension System

The mod calculates a Tension level for each player based on their environment.

Factors Increasing Tension:

• Staying underground.
• Remaining in dark areas.
• Being isolated from other players.

High Tension Events:

• Auditory effects (footsteps or block-breaking sounds).
• Simulated chat messages from other players.
• Increased entity sightings.

Entities

• Apparitions: Silent entities that watch from a distance and de-spawn when observed.
• The Tormentor: An invisible entity in deep caves that digs towards the player.
• The Observer: An entity located within the Trial dimensions.
• The Hunter: A hostile entity in the Trial dimensions. If it catches a player, the world save file is deleted. (IF safe mode is disabled)

Sign Dialogue

Players can communicate with entities by placing a sign and writing specific questions. The text on the sign will be replaced with a response.

The Trial

The Trial is a series of dimensions used to end the mod's effects.

1. Access: Apparitions may drop a ######## Compass*.
2. Navigation: The compass directs the player to an entrance located deep underground.
3. Dimensions:
   • The Corridors: Stone hallways.
   • The Library: An archive structure.
   • The Mineshaft: A labyrinthine tunnel system.

Completion: Successfully finishing the Trial permanently disables the mod's effects for that player.

Reawakening

To reactivate the mod's features after completing the Trial:

1. Place a sign.
2. Write the text: /summon reawake.
3. Right-click the sign. Note: Events will return with higher frequency and aggression.
