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
Full support for:

Russian language

English language

🕳 Protocol 001
Hidden final scenario.

Activated manually by renaming an item to "001".
Triggers a special sequence that ends the session.

⚠️ Note
DISTORT does not modify or damage any game or system files.
All effects are implemented within the game client.
