I think many people don’t understand that the real scare comes not from ugly entity that screams loud but from paranoia of something intelligent whose intentions are not clear
I strongly agree, I think mods fail to see that, a proper horror mod should fit in with Minecraft and not make it inherently obvious there's anything even different about your world.
And the funny thing is that this entire craze started out from that - the original Cave Dweller mod, where the idea was giving the cave noises an origin, adding different other sounds, something watching you from a distance you can barely see - and often just running away from you. You get a sense of dread and paranoia of whatever that is and what it wants. Of course, it had that ugly entity that screams loud chasing after you aspect, but that was like less than 1/4 of the scare factor. Also the dweller wasn't unnecessarely overpowered, and just killed, you, not jumpscare you.
@@katamas832 I definetely agree, the cave dweller is one of the few good horror mods, another one I like that does a similar thing is into the fog, adding the original herobrine concept to your world.
I still remember playing Minecraft when I was younger and getting trapped in a cave. I didn’t know where to go or how to get out and I was scared shitless
For me the best horror is the one that never reveals itself and you are just waiting and waiting for it, but nothing happens. When i play old minecraft, it's enough for me to see a bizzare terrain generation (for example a cross carved in the earth) or a perfectly square cave, to feel the shivers! All those horror mods miss the point, it's about subtle things, not the loud jumpscares
I kid you not, when I was a preteen and had an older version of minecraft, I found a ravine with a mineshaft in it that led to a cave wall with a 2x2 tunnel lined with redstone torches, which was one of the "signs" of Herobrine being in my world. It freaked me out so much.
I thought you had more subscribers! This was wonderful! The peak of herobrine is something you really just had to be there for. I was one of those foolish young kids who tried repeatedly to summon him. I miss it tbh.
Gonna be honest playing Old Minecraft like Beta and Alpha is basically playing a liminal psychological horror game your alone in this empty, timeless, lifeless world with no start or end goal your in a permanent transitional period. But you dont feel truly alone you feel like your being watched. The old fog help this feeling a lot. I thought that all those feelings of paranoia and those other creepy vibes where because i was a kid so i thought they would go away when i played Beta 1.7.3 a few months ago but no. I felt the same feelings after a day or two in game even the in game music felt creepy and off. I swear i would see a black figure watching and stalking me in my peripheral vision sometimes i would even see some white pixels in the darkness. I was always paranoid and scared playing on the world but i continued playing anyway. I had a decent house with a mine so i quit playing for a week. I logged back in and wanted more diamonds so i headed for my mine but about a third of the way down i found a 2x2 tunnel branching off of it. I did not build that 2x2 tunnel and it was long it went on for about 50 blocks. At this point i was pretty spooked but when i got down to diamond level i started strip mining but then i heard footsteps and blocks breaking and being placed somewhere nearby. After that i just quit the game for a while. I came back i exited the mine but while i was running up i heard footsteps behind me again but this was running player footsteps and i noticed a few more 2x2 and 1x2 tunnels branching off my mine that again i did not build and cannot explain how they got their. I got to my house locked myself in their and quit the world i have not played it since but i did not delete it. I may go back a see what caused those weird and paranormal happenings. But it seems im not the only one on other Minecraft forums players report having the same weird things happen to them.
i warn you about linking a much more interesting video so early on but i also appreciate it, i say this bc i nearly clicked off to check that video out lmao
@@myrkr-drk i think whats missing in some parts is music. Not necessarily loud but something that makes it less feel like an audio record. Love the video though so this isnt really dead-critic xD

@@myrkr-drk even if they make it obvious, maybe don't try to make into a shitty horror game which only way to scare you is jumpscares
@@myrkr-drk brb time to make ravenholm in minecraft /j

I still kinda get that way now, I've been playing the beta version of the game recently.

9:10 copeland's livestream and the herobrine world are no longer lost archives as they were published again on youtube by someone
Oh I actually had no idea about that, I'm surprised I didn't see that. Thanks for letting me know
this video had me have goosebumps the entire duration of it, great work
I appreciate that, that's what I was hoping to do lol
Very good quality video. I'm glad the great emperor Al Gorithm brought me here.
I'm glad it did too, thank you so much!

Yeah I was too lol, I miss that era too.
This was really well made I expected this channel to have more subs
this is the dryest horror genre to ever exist
Do you Minecraft as a horror game, or the getting stalked?
