About this project

What does Cat in The Hat add?

Someone is standing outside your window. He’s smiling.

Cat in The Hat brings a sinister feline visitor into your world. He watches from a distance, knocks at your door, and turns familiar places into part of his unsettling performance.

Listen carefully. Sometimes you’ll hear footsteps outside. Sometimes, breathing behind you. And sometimes, the circus music will stop.

Features

  • Creepy encounters around windows, doors, ladders, and stairs.

  • Positional footsteps, knocking, breathing, and distorted laughter.

  • Twisted games, including hide-and-seek and “Freeze.”

  • A story that gradually unfolds over roughly an hour of active play, leading to three final trials.

  • Singleplayer and cooperative multiplayer with shared encounters and progression.

  • Chainsaw rage: attack the cat, and he may abandon his performance, start his chainsaw, and chase you down.

Getting started

Install the mod and enter Survival or Adventure mode on a difficulty above Peaceful. Events begin automatically—no commands or guidebook required.

Build or find a house with windows, a wooden door, ladders, and stairs. Leave some open space around it so the visitor has room to appear. Brief on-screen cues explain the rules during his games.

Playing with friends? Stay together. Everyone must have the same mod version installed, including the server if you use one.

Requirements

Minecraft 1.20.1 · Forge · Java 17

Your goal

Survive the performance and complete the final trials to make the guest leave.

As long as he’s playing the cat, there are rules.
