Neurocraft: Visions & Voices

Update 3/18/2025: When we uploaded this mod to CurseForge in Feburary of 2024, it was mostly intended to share the file quickly among close friends. We certainly never expected this level of attention—with this platform, we'd like to emphasize that while this mod isn't serious, dementia and schizophrenia are. Therefore, all revenue generated by this mod will be donated to one of the largest nonprofit organizations dedicated to dementia research in America, Alzheimer's Association.

Neurocraft: Visions & Voices is an ongoing project that attempts to simulate the disastrous effects of schizophrenia and dementia on a Minecraft player. Inspired by projects like Everywhere At The End Of Time and various internet memes, Neurocraft blurs reality. Will you beat the game before your symptoms get out of control, or will you break and lose that chance completely?

For best player experience, Neurocraft is intended to be played start-to-finish in a hardcore world without knowing any features beforehand.

Embark on a solo adventure, or invite your friends and lose your sanity together!

Enjoy the chaos.
