Description
Sanity: Descent Into Madness
A Minecraft mod that brings the sanity mechanic from Don't Starve into Minecraft.
Check out this fork for the Fabric/NeoForge 1.21.1 version of the mod.
Requirements
Description
This mod adds a new vital for you to manage - sanity, your mental health scale. Failing to keep your sanity at high levels may have drastic consequences on your survival, including fatal outcome.
As your sanity drops, you start hearing and seeing things, your vision becomes muddy and blurry, as well as your mind cloudy, until eventually you start getting attacked by the creations of your own mind, inner entities.
Certain mobs will also react accordingly to your unstable mental condition...
There are multiple ways to restore your sanity, as well as multiple ways to lose it. Visit the wiki to see them all.
The first thing you might want to do, however, is to craft a garland from any small flowers you encounter on your journey. This nice little accessory should help you stay sane for a bit longer. Be wary, though, that water makes it wither away much faster!
Details
The mod is highly configurable, see configuration file.
The mod also supports dimension-specific configuration in config/sanitydim/dimension/custom_config.toml
You're free to include this mod in your modpacks.Known bugs
mc1.16: currently there's a bug with entities' animations, but it shouldn't affect gameplay much
