Description from the author on Modrinth

playerdata.dat

A short atmospheric horror adventure for Minecraft.

Story

Your friend has gone missing.

With only a trail of mysterious blue flowers to follow, you venture into an endless forest in search of him.

As you explore the unfamiliar surroundings, you discover strange clues and encounter something that seems to be watching you.

But perhaps finding your friend isn't going to be as simple as you thought.

Features

  • An Endless Forest — Explore a custom dimension consisting of an endless spruce forest, permanently covered in darkness.
  • Mysterious Clues — Follow blue flowers and discover hidden hints scattered throughout your journey.
  • An Unfamiliar Presence — Encounter a strange copy of a player that appears behind you. Looking at it makes it run towards the next clue before disappearing behind a tree.
  • A Short Horror Experience — Uncover the mystery through exploration and environmental storytelling.
  • An Ending — Reach the final destination and discover how your journey concludes.

Inspiration

This project was inspired by a Minecraft video by Mslan, which featured a similar concept of searching for a missing friend in an endless world.

Some ideas and elements were adapted from the original video.
