Bobochop Unbound

Bobochop Unbound

Bobochop Unbound is a horror-survival modpack for Minecraft 1.20.1, built around dangerous exploration, industrial progression, and things that move in the dark. Search abandoned places for supplies, manage thirst, and prepare for encounters with SCP anomalies, cryptids, and other hostile creatures.

Version 1.4.0 runs on Forge 47.4.28 and adds new survival and production systems alongside expanded Create content. Build up from primitive tools, make use of firearms and field equipment, and decide how far you are willing to venture for the materials you need.

🌲 Survive the Unknown

Days are for exploring, gathering supplies, and preparing. Nights bring their own dangers, but darkness is not the only thing to fear. Watch your resources, choose your equipment carefully, and think before entering an abandoned facility or following a sound into the wilderness.

☢️ The Fall

For decades, The Black Meridian Initiative operated beyond public knowledge. To the outside world, it was a respected research organization working in technology, industrial automation, sustainable energy, and experimental physics. Private contracts and government partnerships funded ambitious projects around the world.

Beneath that public image lay underground laboratories, industrial complexes, and restricted research facilities. A secret inner circle pursued forbidden studies of ancient rituals and entities beyond conventional understanding. Research was concealed, projects were reclassified, and entire departments disappeared behind legitimate scientific programs.

The boundary between scientific research and occult obsession eventually collapsed. Deep beneath one of the Initiative's most advanced facilities, the Inner Circle combined an experimental reactor with a ritual meant to pierce the boundaries of reality.

The experiment caused a catastrophe. A massive nuclear event devastated entire regions, but it was only the beginning. For a brief moment, the barrier between realities collapsed. The portals did not open to distant worlds. They opened to Hell.

Demonic entities poured into reality as radioactive fallout spread across the planet. Animals mutated, plants changed, and unknown species appeared. The world was transformed forever.

👤 The Survivor

You awaken with no memory of what happened. Abandoned facilities stand silent in the wilderness, while massive industrial machines continue running without anyone to maintain them. Strange sounds echo from caves, and shadows move where nothing should be.

Survival comes first. But as you explore, you find destroyed laboratories, forgotten research archives, and experimental documents marked with the insignia of The Black Meridian Initiative. The records of researchers such as Dr. Elias Ward reveal fragments of a disaster humanity was never meant to witness.

CLASSIFIED ARCHIVE - RECORD #042-C
Internal Archive - Restricted Entry
Personal Journal - Dr. Elias Ward

The same dream has returned.

The setting is consistent: an obsidian circle beneath the Nether sky. The blocks do not hold a stable shape. Their surfaces seem to twist, and I can make out forms beneath the stone that resemble faces. I have no explanation for this detail. I am recording it as observed.

The figures were present again, arranged in a precise ring around the altar. Crimson robes; faces concealed by their hoods. They did not speak. The sound they made was a low, sustained hum, similar to several damaged Nether Portals operating at once.

I woke with the sensation still present: in my chest, my teeth, and, less plausibly, my thoughts.

They addressed me. I could not identify the language, and I cannot reproduce a single symbol from it now. The impression of meaning remains, but the content does not.

I have not reported these dreams. Dr. Keller's case is reason enough for caution. The official report attributes his condition to a psychotic episode. Colleagues said he had become fixated on the lower sectors and insisted that sections of the facility did not exist. The next morning, his employment records were gone.

Yesterday I returned to Observation Chamber C-17 to examine the altar. It remains in place. I found no maintenance request or construction record for it. The chamber should be empty. No one else appears to find its presence unusual; no one even looks at it.

I asked Director Voss about the markings. He smiled and redirected the conversation. He did not answer.

The discrepancies are accumulating: rooms absent from the blueprints, equipment with no inventory records, and conversations that stop when certain subjects arise. Some researchers speak of progress. Others speak of preparation, destiny, and "the arrival."

I can no longer accept that the reactor is the only thing they are preparing for.

If this journal is found, do not rely on the official reports. If you hear the humming while awake, leave immediately. Do not investigate it.

Handwritten note found beneath the entry:
They think they are preparing for something. I do not think they realize it has already begun.

❓ The Legend of Bobochop

Accounts of Bobochop disagree on the details. Most describe a tall, humanoid shape with proportions that seem almost familiar, but never quite right. It is usually spotted at a distance, standing perfectly still and making no sound.

The details may vary, but the feeling does not: something is watching you. In a world full of demons, mutants, and cave-dwelling horrors, Bobochop is unsettling for another reason. The developers know about the mysterious issue surrounding it.

Why "Bobochop Unbound"?

The name started as a joke. During development, we ran into a mysterious issue involving a creature we could not identify. Searches through mod pages, entity lists, configuration files, and documentation brought no answers, so we gave it a ridiculous name: Bobochop.

That is what "Unbound" means: we know about the issue, and we let Bobochop loose anyway. No leash. No pretending it is under control.

"We know about the issue. Bobochop is still loose."
