How to turn Minecraft into a Horror Game

Hey i’m beast dalio 14 today i’m going to show you how you can turn minecraft 1.18 into a genuinely scary survival game and i’ve gotta tell you i’m quite happy with the results so yeah let’s get started as always the first thing that we’ll need to do is to change how the

Game looks so resource pack we’ll be using the experience custom pack it’s one of the few high quality resource pack that has been updated to 1.18 and the textures that this resource pack provides fits amazingly well with the theme of this video so naturally it’s a no brainer other resource pack that

We’ll be using include fresh animations which gives much better and more fluid mob animations there’s also the tissue zombies and pillages like genitals resource pack not only do they change the textures of villagers and zombies it also adds hundreds of variations and sound effects to these creatures Now the pillagers ignore those resource pack is not exactly compatible with fresh animations but it can easily be fixed by arranging the resource pack priorities for me i don’t really mind the transparent textures and in fact i find it quite unnerving which again fits well with the theme the last resource

Pack that we’ll be adding is wispy villagers i would have opted for a resource pack with more creepy villager textures but this is the best i can find and on the plus side it works perfectly with the fresh animations packs so i can’t complain and in case you don’t

Know this already you will need optifine for all these animations and textures to work properly so i would say that the biggest part of this transformation is the shader that i used i chose chocolate 13 because it has the best ominous atmosphere out of all the shaders that

I’ve seen the most important points are to desaturate the game and to bump up the fog amplification and also remember to turn off this option if you want to avoid shadows flickering at this point i’ve gotta say it’s pretty amazing already but we’re just getting started firstly we’ll be adding mods such as

Valhalsia structure repurpose structures and when dungeons arise so as to make danger encounters a bit more frequent i’ve basically turned off most passive structures in these mods to make the world more hostile i’ve also added the mod bombs of plenty but removed most planes and vibrance biomes the tall

Trees and the wasteland biomes are my personal favorites then we’ll be using the not enough animations and first person model mods to make the game feel a bit more different than vanilla what i like most about these two mods along with optifine is when you’re just holding out torches and exploring it

Really adds to the atmosphere one mod that we definitely cannot miss is the enhanced visuals mod whether it’s the slender effect when you’re looking at an enderman or the blood splatter when you take damage or the brief disorientation when an explosion happens nearby all of these are so important to create a

Realistic atmosphere as for the optional choice we have the plastics mod as you guys may know i love this mod a lot and the fractured blood effects from mobside fits really well into the theme but i can see how it’s not for everyone so it’s really up to you now we’ll be

Focusing on making the game more difficult as we all know vanilla minecraft is pretty easy once you get the hang of it a big part of horror games to me is the inability to retaliate in the face of danger so in order to make the game more hostile

We’ll be adding mods such as alex mobs and better animals plus to add a bunch of dangerous animals all over the world i’ve disabled most friendly mob swans such as seagulls or monkeys and bumped up the spawning of dangerous animals such as sharks or crocodiles we’ll also

Be adding the mud blood and madness which is a bloodborne inspired mod that adds tons of scary creatures into the game with the heavy fog around you’re pretty much oblivious to your surroundings and it makes these encounters even more deadly and i know what you’re thinking you think you can

Stay at home sleep the night off and wait for the sun to come up so you can see around right but we can add the mods sleep sooner to modify the time that you can rest only instead of making it earlier we’re gonna make it so that you

Can only sleep halfway into the night and now the mod that’s gonna bump up the difficulty is improved mobs with this mod installed we can make mobs be able to break blocks target villagers or even equipped items we can also use this to override certain mobs aggression so that

Neutral creatures such as gorillas will now attack you on sight for mobs that spawn on the ground we can add the more top depth to make them stronger and hit harder the lower they spawn as for the people who are familiar with the modern control you can also make mobs on the

Ground run faster and take less knockback as an alternative or add-on we can also add zombie awareness so that mobs can hear you smell you or investigate light sources and yeah i know it’s going to be really hard so to give the player some level of sufferability we’ll be adding the mod

Only looking into the pack this will make it so that the mobs will only sense you when they see you this however also means that you can’t sneak around certain mobs when you’re bleeding or making too much sound as their enhanced sensors can counteract the impact vision with these tweaks you’ll find yourself

Constantly sneaking around your enemies instead of facing them head-on and that to me seemed like a very thrilling game if that’s not scary enough for you we’ll be adding two mods ice in the darkness and weeping angels mod if you want to know what these two mods do just wait

Until the gameplay portion of the video it’s definitely not something that belongs in minecraft for the last part of the transformation we’ll be overwhelming the sounds in minecraft the first thing that i did was to replace all the background music into horror and suspense music like these I added the mod music duration reducer to make the music play much more often i also added mods such as strip sounds and sound physics remastered to make the cave sounds even more terrifying the last mod that i added is possible foliage this mod simply makes foliage a

Possible block instead of a solid block but when it plays the sound of mobs passing through leaves and you don’t know what’s going on because of the fog it really gets you paranoid and yeah that’s pretty much it here’s the gameplay Hmm oh Okay [Applause] oh so [Applause] hmm Let me know if you guys want this pack published i’m more than happy to continue working on this pack leave a comment about which direction you want the pack to take and what the name should be and yeah that’s it so yeah
