Phobias to spice up your gameplay experience.
This mod adds phobias which affect your gameplay. You are attributed one the first time you join a world and everytime you respawn. When triggered, these give you the Fear effect. This effect does nothing on its own but gives you Weakness, Mining Fatigue as well as Nausea.
There are a total of 6 phobias :
🐜Entomophobia🐜
Triggers when standing close to an arthropod.
🌙Achluophobia🌙
Triggers when standing in dark places.
🗻Acrophobia🗻
Triggers when standing in high places.
🪨Claustrophobia🪨
Triggers when standing in tight spaces.
🐟Thalassophobia🐟
Triggers when standing in deep water.
⚡Astraphobia⚡
Triggers when it's thundering.
You can, however, counter these phobias by crafting a Potion of Bravery.
Commands
/gamerule persistent_phobias [true/false]
To make phobias persistent and stay unchanged when respawning, or not.
/phobia [phobia name/none]
To give someone a phobia, or none.
