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.
