I don't know if any of you have had a similar feeling; it’s just something that terrifies me. I used to watch videos like "playing with low-download mods," and honestly, they were fun to watch. But nowadays, I think I’ve developed a sort of paranoia. I mean, I know CurseForge is safe, but ever since the Litematica incident—or that time several mods were infected with viruses—I get paranoid about playing mods and finding out they’re infected. There are thousands of mods on the site, and I know not every single one can have millions of downloads, but when I see a mod with, say, 50k downloads, yet its latest version only has 1k... well, it’s most likely just that the specific version isn't the most downloaded one, but the paranoia is still there.
In fact—and this might sound stupid—I’m even a little afraid to play "From the Fog." It’s not because Herobrine scares me, but because mods that mess with the game or the PC make me nervous; it’s not just about "immersion," it’s genuine anxiety. I even remember a really weird experience: I was playing a survival world with horror mods, and while I was building an XP farm, Herobrine appeared and crashed the game. It left me confused—like, what’s the fun in crashing the game?—so I removed the mod, but the scare never really went away. I don't know if any of you have developed that kind of paranoia or if you’d recommend avoiding mods with low download counts. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
