From ModrinthA horror-themed Minecraft mod that punishes players for lingering in complete darkness.
The Murk
_(name subject to change)_
The Murk is a horror-themed Fabric mod that transforms darkness into a deadly threat. Venture into the shadows unprepared, and face the chilling consequences of Murk's Grasp, a debuff that creeps up in low light levels, bringing fear and danger to your world.
Features
- Murk's Grasp Effect:
- Triggers in low light levels (default: below 3) after 15 seconds of darkness, with a warning message at 5 seconds.
- Applies a harmful status effect with a dark purple hue, slowing movement by 15% and dealing scaling damage if you linger in the dark.
- Persists for a configurable duration after entering a lit area, with optional Blindness effect.
- Dynamic Light Detection:
- Supports held items, dropped items, trinket slots (via Trinkets), and nearby players’ light sources to reset the darkness timer.
- Configurable light sources with customizable luminance and water sensitivity.
- Integrates with LambDynamicLights for realistic light checks, requiring line-of-sight to light-emitting items.
- Configurable Gameplay:
- Customize light thresholds, dimensions (e.g., Overworld, Nether), and effect behaviors via
config/murk.json5. - Options to enable/disable underwater light checks, Creative mode effects, and warning messages.
- NOTES:
- Inspired by mods like OminousDarkness and Grue but built for Fabric.
