Kenny - A horror curse that follows your world!

Kenny adds a slow-burn horror survival experience to Minecraft. A tall, silent stalker begins watching your world from Day 1, filling the air with footsteps, whispers, smoke, soul particles, and strange anomalies.

At first, Kenny only watches. He appears, stares, whispers, and vanishes when noticed. Then the warnings become a countdown. When your time runs out, the hunt begins.

The only true way to end Kenny forever is to enter The End and kill the Ender Dragon.
