Minecraft stands out not just as a great game, but as an exceptionally moddable one. If you're like us and have figured out how to run Java Edition on your Android device, you're in for a treat—or perhaps a fright. A new horror mod, In Your World, created by the seasoned modder EBALIA, has just been released and promises to be one of the scariest Minecraft mods to date.
EBALIA, the mastermind behind the chilling mod The Silence, takes a different approach with In Your World. This mod aims to unsettle you in a more insidious, psyche-eroding manner than typical horror mods.
We’re Not In A Dweller Mod Anymore
If you're a fan of horror mods, you might be familiar with the likes of the Cave Dweller and its numerous variations. These mods introduce a monster that stalks and disrupts your exploration, providing jump scares but not necessarily a deep sense of unease.
In contrast, In Your World, available for both free and paid members of EBALIA’s Patreon, doesn't rely on monsters lurking in dark caves or dense fog. Instead, it creates a Minecraft world where you're never quite alone.
Feeling Seen
The first sign that something is amiss is an Achievement notification that pops up on your screen, ominously reading 'I See You.'
You might then hear the unsettling sound of footsteps nearby. Strange, inexplicable geometric structures and columns start appearing in the world. Occasionally, you'll spot a figure standing atop these structures, watching you.
If you're particularly unfortunate, you might stumble upon a full building made of cobblestone somewhere on the map. We advise against entering it. Without giving too much away, things escalate from there.
Currently in demo form, In Your World has already left us deeply unsettled and eager to see its full potential. It's a horror experience that slowly builds paranoia, making nowhere feel safe—a far more disturbing experience than any screaming monster.
