About this project
What does watch.jar add?

"Do you ever feel lonely…?
You're in a big, big world and only…"
I am very embarrassed of version y1.6.0. I am deleting that version.
watch.jar will come back with a brand new legacy version that's mostly based on watch.jar y1.4. It will have features from the newer versions, the events will be fixed, multiplayer support will come back, and so on

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE PLAYING!!!
OVERVIEW
Watch.jar is a ARG-style psychological horror mod that transforms Minecraft into a unpredictable world, attempting to give the player a feeling of being watched. The mod distorts the world, modifies the interface, and triggers environmental events to create a creepy experience
- Recommended: Play without other mods
- Recommended: No shaders or resource packs
WARNING: Contains flashy jumpscares, sudden visual and environmental events. Not suitable for users who are photosensitive or easily frightened
TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES:
The mod modifies Minecraft's interface and behavior to create a psychological horror experience. It may disable UI buttons, adjust settings such as render distance, take local in-game screenshots, launch certain system applications purely as visual effects, retrieve the local system time and date, and trigger scripted client crashes. These behaviors are fully local, session-bound, and do not persist, transmit data, or access any files or network resources beyond the actions listed
SAFETY & PRIVACY:
watch.jar is fully local and session-bound. It adapts if any system capability is unavailable or blocked. The mod does not collect, store, or transmit any data, does not execute arbitrary code, and has no internet access. Closing or restarting the game fully restores control. Camera access is never used to capture images, video, or personal data. Any system Camera app that opens is purely a visual scare element and can be immediately closed. The mod only checks camera availability to determine whether to display alternate messages or effects
COMPATIBILITY:
- watch.jar is designed to work on Linux and macOS, but full functionality is not guaranteed. The mod was primarily developed and tested on Windows (7–11), so you may encounter issues on other operating systems.
- watch.jar was built for a mostly vanilla world. Mods that add or change biomes, structures, or world generation may cause unexpected behavior or break features entirely (e.g, from a YouTube video, blocks started randomly spawning above the oceans).
Some setups may work, but compatibility is not guaranteed. If you run into problems while using other mods, please contact me via support
THE EXPERIENCE (SPOILERS)
A Broken World: The mod forces the game back into a distorted Release 1.8 generation without the hills and mountains. You’ll encounter glitched landscapes, such as villages submerged underwater, missing terrain segments, and unnervingly narrow, claustrophobic caves
Spawns: Most of the natural are disabled
Loss of Control: Buttons may be disabled, including the Quit button
Events: Environmental events trigger when you least expect them. Dirt pillars appear behind your back, random strip mines carve through the caves, and even the animals may lash out with jumpscares when provoked
Entities: This mod adds a few entities to your world. Each entity does something unique
SUPPORT:
You are not alone.
Not in your world.
Not in your menus.
Not even in your system.
