Voidborne

Overview

Voidborne is a Minecraft mod that introduces reality-breaking horror elements to your world. Invisible rifts tear at the fabric of existence, a mysterious entity known as The Wanderer stalks players, and using void powers comes at a terrible cost to your sanity. Designed for multiplayer servers, Voidborne creates moments of shared terror and emergent storytelling.

Features

• Void Rifts - Invisible tears in reality spawn randomly in dark areas. Use Void Sight to detect them and crouch nearby to interact, but beware the consequences.
• Sanity System - Your sanity decreases as you use void powers or witness anomalies. Low sanity causes hallucinations, blindness, and whispers from the void.
• The Wanderer - A dangerous entity that phases in and out of reality. If it catches you, it can possess your body for 30 seconds, giving you powerful abilities but making you a threat to others.
• Void Powers - Gain abilities like Void Teleport (press R) and Void Phase (press G) as your Void Exposure increases. Each use drains sanity.
• Blood Moon Events - Rare world events where the moon turns red, spawning powerful mobs and reducing everyone's sanity.
• Random Anomalies - Reality fractures, mass hallucinations, and phantom spawns occur periodically to keep players on edge.

How to Use

Keybindings

• V - Toggle Void Sight (reveals invisible rifts and anomalies)
• R - Void Teleport (requires 10+ Void Exposure, 30 second cooldown)
• G - Void Phase (requires 25+ Void Exposure, 60 second cooldown)

Interacting with Rifts

1. Enable Void Sight (V) to detect nearby rifts (purple particles will appear)
2. Approach within 3 blocks and crouch to interact
3. Outcomes vary: gain knowledge, spawn enemies, or be randomly teleported

Admin Commands

Tips & Tricks

• Sleep regularly to slowly restore sanity
• Stay in well-lit areas to avoid rift spawns
• Hunt The Wanderer with friends - killing it restores sanity
• Void powers are powerful but addictive - the more you use them, the more the void claims you
• Watch for warning signs: whispers, phantom sounds, and visual distortions mean your sanity is dropping

Known Limitations

• Some visual effects require a client restart to fully initialize
• Possession mechanics are simplified - future updates will add more possessed player abilities
• Rift positions are not yet synced to clients in real-time
