Shadow of the Soul

      *A psychological horror framework for NeoForge* --- Shadow of the Soul is not a typical monster mod. It is a system-driven horror experience that tracks the player's mental state through a complex **Fear Level** mechanic. The environment reacts to your terror, making the darkness your greatest enemy. ### CORE MECHANICS * **Dynamic Fear System:** Your fear increases in darkness, at extreme depths, and when injured. Standing in bright light is your only way to recover. * **The Watcher:** A malevolent entity that spawns behind you when your fear is high. It studies you from the shadows and vanishes the moment you try to confront it. * **Environmental Sabotage:** At high fear levels, the shadows become aggressive, actively extinguishing torches and light sources around you. * **Auditory Hallucinations:** Experience localized whispers, phantom cave noises, and an accelerating heartbeat as your sanity slips. * **Restless Nights:** High terror levels prevent sleep. The presence of the unknown will keep you awake, forcing you to survive the night manually. --- ### TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS | Feature | Trigger Threshold | | :--- | :--- | | Ambient Whispers | 50% Fear | | Watcher Manifestation | 55% Fear | | Insomnia & Nightmares | 60% Fear | | Audible Heartbeat | 70% Fear | | Visual Panic Bar | Configurable via /fear | **Commands:** * `/fear set [0-100]` - Sets your current fear level (OP only) * `/fear togglebar` - Toggles the visual fear indicator --- **Warning: This mod is designed to create intense atmospheric pressure and psychological discomfort.**
