// about this mod
Not everything is what it seems in the world of Minecraft. Sometimes, your eyes could gray out. Other times, you might be wandering within a fogged world. Welcome to Paranoia — the mod that introduces a sanity bar and nothing else.
Well… maybe a few effects here and there. But it wouldn't be fun if sanity was so linear. Prepare for a world of randomness as you experience Minecraft with sanity slowly eroding beneath you.

// features
- Sanity bar — a persistent meter that drains as you encounter unsettling events. It recovers only if you manage to stay calm.
- Visual distortions — low sanity causes the screen to grey out, fog to roll in, and your perception to warp unpredictably.
- Non-linear effects — effects are randomised. You'll never know which symptom will trigger next or how severe it will be.
- Phobia-safe design — intentionally avoids common phobia triggers, so as many players as possible can experience it.
- Fully open source — LGPLv3 licensed. Addon creators are welcome and encouraged to build on top of it.

// faq
Is this mod free of phobias?
Yes. It intentionally avoids common phobias to allow as many players as possible to experience it. Phobia-specific content may come as a separate optional addon in the future.
Will this be backported to older versions?
No. The mod targets the latest minor Minecraft version. Legacy Forge versions will not be supported, except for critical game-breaking bug fixes.
Will you support other mod loaders (Fabric, Quilt)?
Possibly, after the Forge implementation is complete. The author prefers to finish one implementation before porting.
Can I make an addon for this?
Absolutely — that's encouraged. The mod is LGPLv3 licensed and the source is on GitHub. Check the wiki for the addon API.
