About this project
What does DISTORT add?
DISTORT is a horror mod for Minecraft based on the gradual distortion of the gameplay experience.
It does not use jump scares as its primary tool - instead, it changes the player's perception of the game through a state system, visual anomalies, and atmosphere.
🌒 Panic System
The mod implements a panic mechanic that affects what happens in the game.
As panic increases:
Visual and audio distortions intensify
Anomalies begin to appear in the world
Game behavior becomes less predictable
Panic is the key factor that determines the intensity of the effects.
👁 Custom Interface
Changed main menu
Updated HUD
🕳 World Anomalies
During gameplay, the following may appear:
Distorted structures
Unconventional world generation
Visual inconsistencies with the normal logic of the world
🔊 Atmosphere
The mod focuses on sound and the feeling of instability:
Reworked sounds
Unobvious audio sources
Rare and hard-to-explain events
🌐 Localization

English language
🕳 Protocol 001
Hidden final scenario.
Activated manually by renaming an item to "001".
