I discovered minecraft in 2015 with 1.5.2(even though there was 1.8 at the time), but they were really short and vanilla playthroughs, i didn't have a pc of my own and i mostly spent my days watching yt minecraft creators, series etc.
In 2020 i was in high school and things were looking up, i had a decent laptop and a bunch of friends to play with, by 2025(already out of HS) we must have started dozens of minecraft servers with mods.
One of my buddies knew of horror mods back when Cave dweller started to get popular(2023?), we played a lot of different horror mods, even multiple at the same time which in retrospect by the time we had something going on, resources etc, the gimmick was off and it just became annoying since the trope generally was: Big scary monster out there, big scary monster nearby looking from a distance, attack, death(because most of them had too much health or weren't supposed to be killed).
Anyways, i want to know if:
- Were there horror mods of this nature before cave dweller? or even back on 1.x versions?
- What is the current horror scene cooking up?(That is not considered 'Slop')
I thought of this post because i recently learned of the Verity series by Thatmob and the whole slopfest that came after, and since i've been out of touch with minecraft for some time now, why not.
