10 Scariest Mincraft Mod

1. Amnesia Brute Mod

Inspired by the Amnesia horror game, this fan-made mod is a well-attempted cube version of Brute - an all-powerful Gatherer. When playing the original game, you may have rarely encountered these scary beasts. The grotesque-looking split head and the scary bellows they belch out can certainly give you nightmares.

Brutes appear rarely in the original game, so does this textured cube version. The mod developer made sure this monster has a very low chance of spawning, giving that element of surprise. You will never know when it will attack. And even if you spot one, don’t you dare come closer to it. The monster will leave you in splits!

2. Levi’s Nightmare Horror Map

Levi’s Nightmare is a labyrinth of horrors. It’s a huge map and has some scary surprises in store for gamers. According to this map developer, you play the character of Levi Insecttis who wakes up alone in an unknown place. You will need to help him find answers about his whereabouts. The story will remind you of any survival horror game, and since it’s Minecraft, things will get very creepy at night.

Levi’s Nightmare Horror has some rules, such as allowing players to craft levers and buttons, not destroying any blocks etc. Nighttime experience can really get spooky and there are some shocking stories to learn and creepy entities to encounter. A must-try mod for scare-buffs!

3. Horror Mobs

Created by an ardent horror fan, Horror mobs add creepiness to Notch's popular game. This mod pack includes frightening ghouls, a shadow lurker and a creepy half-zombie/half-spider called “The Thing”.

Of these horror characters, shadow lurker scared the daylights out of me. It’s actually a headless version of the Enderman carrying a head of his victim. He is searching for his new prey, so that he can replace the old head with a new one. Beware. He is deadly and silently launches an attack on his prey.

Another scary mob is The Thing, a zombie-spider breed that’s quite swift in his movements and attacks. The way he screams while charging at the player is too frightening, even for a seasoned horror gamer. The groany ghoul seems pale in comparison to its looks, but can really be scary once he locates his target. There are many more, including the spooky Reaper, Scary Twins and the monster sea dweller.

All mobs drop goodies once you kill them. You get organs when you kill the Thing and grave cobblestone from the ghoul. All are scary, but watch out for The Thing!

4. The Compound

The Compound is one of the lesser known Minecraft horror mods. It was one of the first survival horror map mod developed for this game. Many elements have been inspired by Penumbra. Much of horror in this map takes place inside a spooky little compound. The interiors are strikingly similar to the ones shown in the second Penumbra game.

The game has trapdoors, secret doors and plenty of frightening surprises awaiting you. Once you are inside the compound, you will hear a faint, spine-chilling groan echoing through the hallways.There’s no way of escape and you will need to be quite stealthy while exploring the compound. The game has its own set of rules, which you can get at the official forum.

Trivia: Nobody knows John’s origins. It might be a Minecraft fan’s prank mod or it might have been inspired by a video game. Do you know his origins? Post your comments if you do.

5. John Mod

John’s pale white texture and a morbid-looking expression is scary to say the least. His origins are mysterious, but who cares about background when you have such a horrifying creature charging toward you.

Once this mod is installed, you will see mini-johns appearing randomly in small groups. They appear mainly during morning. At night, it’s the mega giant Johns that spawn and attack you from nowhere. However, it is difficult to spot one as the spawn rate is quite rare. And if you do spot a creepy john, make sure you are well-equipped.

6. Survival Horror Map

The survival horror map is one of the most complete and creepy horror mods. Like other maps, it has some rules and objectives. You will be tasked to kill waves of monsters that are trying to destroy your house and kill you. The objective is to survive all 25 waves without breaking any blocks.

The map’s haunted house setting is indeed quite scary. After wandering around in a dark forest, you find a shelter in a mansion. Once you get inside, you will find a bedroom and some weapons with which you will need to defend your avatar.

Scary ghouls start appearing once you’ve entered the house. To make things worse, lights go off and you will need to fix the generator to ensure darkness does not engulf your bedroom. If this doesn’t send panic waves, then wait until you go out of supplies. Yes, you will also have to manage food and potions along with ammo, else the monster wave will kill you in seconds. A must-play map, if you take my advice, and a sure-shot scare treat for all you survival horror game lovers!

Trivia: For those not in the know, the Weeping Angels mod was inspired by a fictional alien race of the same name.7. Slenderman

Slenderman was one of the very first horror mods to have hit the Minecraft forums. A fan-made modification, Slenderman is the creepiest of all monsters. He can appear from nowhere, disappear at will and can teleport the player to an unknown location.

According to forum gossip Slenderman is a terrifying serial killer who has gained notoriety for kidnapping and killing innocent souls. He is also known for infiltrating minds and driving players insane.

The appearance chances of this scary entity are very rare. You might stumble upon two or maximum 3 Slendermen in a biome. Rare appearances make things scarier. You just don’t know when it will make a sudden appearance.

He appears and disappears randomly, and won't spare you if you come under its FoV. He also has the ability to destroy torches and other light sources and can easily spot you from a distance, even if you are behind a transparent surface. Slenderman can be very dangerous if not killed immediately. Not for the weak-hearted!

8. Stalker Creeper

One of the scariest mobs, the creeper, needs no introduction. These creepers are known to lay an ambush and explode when an avatar comes into contact with them. The surrounding blocks also get damaged once they explode.

These four-legged creatures are some of the creepiest nuisance-makers. They use stealth while attacking and are found in biomes with light level less than 7. However, you can play a bit of hide and seek and kill them by sneaking from behind.

But what if these creepers stalk you and come right after you wherever you go. Well, the Stalker Creeper mod adds such creepy four-legged monsters that can give you a nasty surprise. No, you cannot hide anywhere. They will find you! No way are they getting any stupider or clueless once you install this mod. And this will certainly make your gameplay experience way creepier.

9. Herobrine

Herobrine mob are a nightmare once you stumble upon them. Although they are like your average Minecraft character, it’s their strange behavior that sends chills down your spine. They appear suddenly from nowhere, are quick when running toward you and cannot be trapped easily, which is why there’s a contest in the official Minecraft forum to trap the mob and save the world from their menace. Mind you, they are very hostile and can totally destroy your character in two blows. You can download the mod from the official forum.

Pin It

These indestructible frozen angels appeared in a Doctor Who episode called Flesh and Stone, where they were found moving for the first time.

10. Weeping Angels

One of the scariest Minecraft horror mods, Weeping Angels is not for the faint-hearted. These creatures of the night follow your character’s movement and react to it. They freeze when spotted and charge towards you when unaware of their presence.

The creepiness does not end here. They even try to extinguish any fire source (torches etc.) at night, making it easier for them to attack the player. Tread carefully at night or when you step inside a cave during the day. At a light level less than zero, they won’t stop and can be quite menacing,

Weeping Angels have a low spawn rate (five percent), so spotting one is rare phenomena. They also have the ability to teleport a player, but teleporting chances are rare. They can be killed, but I won’t reveal any secrets here.
