Horror Initiation
Java modpack listed for Minecraft 1.20. Download on the author's site.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThis is a horror modpack prioritising atmosphere and aesthetic over chasers and jumpscares. You can expect mods like Dark Waters, In Your World, and The Knocker for a higher-quality horror experience. There's an emphasis on fog and darkness, and the lack of any minimaps or waystones guarantees an old-style feel to the pack. For adventure's sake, and for an eldritch touch, Dimensional Doors also makes an appearance here.
There's no minimaps or crafting guides, since that'd ruin the aged feeling of the modpack. Darkness is absolute, music is timeless, and subtlety is key. I have specifically avoided dwellers, because cheap jumpscares are simply poor design disguised as a horror mod. However, to ensure violent entities are a problem, the wendigo will be stalking you at night.
Perhaps it is better to be alone.
Tempus fugit. Memento mori.
