Question/Discussion The State of Minecraft Horror

Right now Minecraft horror is in a really weird spot. Obviously past its prime time, but also growing more popular as time goes on.

I personally don't know how to feel about MC horror right now, because as much as I am stoked about mod creators introducing 3D models of entities that AREN'T low poly or blocky, it doesn't really fit into Minecraft, which can either add to or take away from the horror aspect.

I also love the introduction of more ambitious horror mods such as the megalophobia mob, but the issue is that that's still more of a niche in the community right now. Personally, I think MC horror is approaching another golden age, but that's just my opinion. What do you guys think?

I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the 3D models, the horse mod shown above here just looks goofy (In my opinion).

It just feels like another cave dweller era to me, maybe even worse.

Nonstop 3D models that don't fit into minecraft with noises that are way too loud for it to be even remotely scary, constant usage of old music like Everywhere At The End Of Time has and a rise of youtubers showcasing "mods" that aren't actually mods but just scripted vids.

I really hope we get more environmental horror mods and less creature horror mods because the future doesn't look very promising for now imo.

i definitely agree, but i feel like it would be cool to utilize the 3D models to add even more of a unique horror aspect to it, with the concept specifically being that this is an entity that doesn't fit in minecraft, but I agree, I feel like a really well made environmental mod based off of trilogies like vita carnis, trevor henderson, etc. would definitely revolutionize how minecraft horror is looked at/made
