Surviving the Most Terrifying Minecraft Mod… Cave Dweller 

Hi

Banana

Yo

Hallo

Hi

its great because the cave noises are something that triggers ones mentality to freak out, so it having a hunted player makes it all so more creepy and horror-esque as intended

I hope the modder doesn't fix that, and hopefully adds on to it, and never tell anyone about it. Just hearing one of them freaking out while the rest are just confused is so cool and creepy. In fact, someone should screenshot your comment and send it to the modder.

NEW LORE: It is said that whenever one goes off alone into the caves, they begin to hear things... things nobody else can... according to legends, if you start to hear strange sounds while down in the caves, alone or with others, it may already be too late as whatever lurks just out of sight has identified you as its pray... and it is a very persistent predator.

I think that instead of just removing all regular mobs, they should prevent them from spawning in caves specifically. So while you would find animals and skeletons and zombies and creepers on the surface, the caves would be quiet and empty, apart from the Cave Dweller.

If the cave dweller was more quiet, I feel like that would also take away some of the horror aspects, but also add to it, but it also might be like annoying because you don’t know when it’s near you know what I mean

@@Heavy42786 I think just make it have low quite growls and footsteps around you. It would be really un nerving

yeah like it just observes you at first

It would kinda be similiar feeling to the warden

In every video, in every situation, Sean does EVERYTHING in the least efficient way possible. Drives me nuts, but here I am again.

​​@@EvilSearchEngineyou know the rules, every time Sean make a new world in Minecraft, he's knowledge is also restarting. Like these guy literally beat the Minecraft, and plays for a years, survive the rlcraft(I meant getting out with stable mentality) this guys is nuts, and he still can't craft the bread in the most efficient way as possible. Ps. What is the timestamp btw

@@monst3r54 14:00

Some could say it was the most “yeast” efficient

@@Jingles-rm1ph you're hired

I think you’re talking about the glow lichen

​@@sboy2044 Even the ores

I think those are vanilla?

​@@nekomochi486The block is but its not that bright in the game without texture packs, its not white without them.

what's the name of the texture pack??

Fit in 1x1 and 2x2 space

a man panics y'know😂😅

36:46

​@@popcorn_box633a mans panics ya know*

Oh yea

okay okay OKay OKAY OKAY OMAY OOOOKKKKAAAYYYY

Lmao fr

I also do that. If I'm panicking when I breathe in or out I'll often go. "Hokay." Usually when uneasy.

Okay

If you want a measurement of Sean's excitement use the same method but replace okays with "Oh!"

It also forces you to choose between a torch and a shield/weapon, so there is still a trade-off

Also Cave Dweller: “And I took your life for that.”

minute?

Skeleton: "now's when you get 'em"

Yeah but maybe it's like a different species of dweller, like forest dwellers that hide behind trees at night.

I mean, at that point it deviates too far from the base idea, of accentuating the fear behind Minecraft cave noises. That might be a good idea for a standalone mod.

​@@Sh1ft3r123idk if this still happens but the noises were able to play on the surface so

It’d be better to have a boundary of where he can and can’t go, you’ll be desensitised if you see him all the time on the surface

Maybe it peers through the trees in the day, or even wander around on the plains at night. I’d imagine it be most deadly at night within the forest, but if you sulked there during the day I’d also imagine a chance it would attack you, probably depending on time and day and light level.

Apparently it's due to the shaders that Sean was using. It was causing the mod to bug out.

​@@nothinkin69 Man, it kinda spoiled the effect, but oh well

True

For anyone wondering, it's because certain shaders break geckolib's animations I've found that the complementary reimagined shaders work perfectly fine (except the 'ultra' preset) Edit: the animations are messed up by shaders' entity shadows. Try to see if you can turn them off in your shader's settings (not video settings) and it'll fix the animations

​@@e6198 I was wondering why none of the animations would work.

@@e6198 Same, and if you're using complementary I'd *really* recommend setting cave brightness in the shader settings to very dark.

No wonder it looked so weird

It made it less scary and more funny

It probably wouldn’t be that hard, either. Just give it what the spider has and add animations. But also, why download the mod if you’re just going to cheese it?

@@handleonafridge6828 imagine it crawls up your tower while the long limbs bend like a spider,also animations on the mouth would be terrifying

Imagine it climbing up any number of blocks at extreme speeds with fluid animation. You tower up thinking it's safe and then it goes full speed grabbing onto the blocks and climbing. Would be great if the mod added this and cracked versions of a few blocks where if it climbs on a block, it gets cracked and shattered showing physical strength as it creates its own handholds. Maybe the cracks on the blocks can also be used as handholds for Steve, to move slower than on a ladder, but still to have a new way of climbing that would make the cave dweller have a use for the player that wasn't a direct drop from a kill like the usual.

@@braydenelliott5606 animation on the limbs bending like a real spider hybrid and mouth movement to make you shit tour pants on the first playthrough

​@@exalted7906STOP, your ideas make me scared 😢

Forge inspires me.. My parents said if i get 35K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally Begging...

@@namantherockstar well your literally a bot so no subs for you and if other people don’t believe me let’s think realistically “son I will but you professional equipment if you get 35k subs” no parent would say that.

​@@EviserixI dunno man, some parents are quite supportive

The crazy part is this isn't even the finished version. In the updated version the monster is way faster and can chase even through 1x1 spaces, the creator of this mod is a genius.

@@gav9808 Oh yeah I've seen - @Gargin made an awesome video on it! Very refreshing to have a new mod like this!

Same here

I watched the video minutes before this was posted.

Same🍷

This is next level jackassary

Yeah

imagine if the cave dweller copied one of the voices, but a little bit distorted

​@@vinkel906too goofy

@@vinkel906 That’s actually not a bad and equally horrifying idea, If you’re with a group and the monster kills the one who talked and then used their voice, So if the group went to find them… They’d just be new voices.

Make it so that dweller can use the shadows

@@jaespect6726 they can

You might be thinking of the Stalker, actually. The Lurker is a swamp mob that ressembles a crocodile.

The lurker was just a chill ass crocodude that floated about and dropped hides

werent you in project dutes

literally free roam, that'd be sick

only thing i would adjust: animation, making it a bit smoother would increase the ''non minecraft'' style the creator of the mod wanted. btw amazing mod

@@mrghast7949 also remake the model, it looks *kinda* bland and silly

@@cagedteethI think the “bland and silly”-ness of the model adds to the horror. You could expect it to be a big of spooky scary ultra horror monster, but it’s instead just a tall fleshy thing that runs at you. Much better for theorizing on in my opinion.

@@mrghast7949 its supposed to have animation but it seems to be broken in this video for some reason

biggest minecraft mod yeah sure lmao, there is no way this beats JEI

The potato person (Sorry I can’t remember his name) who made the map the smiling man is also excellent with horror. The map had a perfect combination of gore, storyline and jumpscares. One of the most terrifying scenes is being in a cage while surrounded on four sides by Bebal’s Monstrosities. The average player would assume they had been lead into a trap, the cage would rise, and they would die. However, instead there is a horrid shriek, and the mutants get flattened by the iron barriers, the player surviving, leaving a shocked, frozen, frightened and morbid feeling. edit:typo

I agree, I have watched some of Gargin's content for some time now, way before his Nextbot took Garry's mod by storm. He is truly masterful with the horror genre, and his code is truly masterful, being simple yet very complicated and sophisticated.

Yeah, wondering why the animations aren't working properly in this video.

Frankly for all the hype I would've thought the design for this monster would be a bit creepier.

I knew it seemed familiar! Glad to see he hasn't slowed down at all

Imagine giving it the ability to be on any surface and a chameleon cloak so it mimics the color of the blocks it's on 😈

@@luminariel3765deviates far from the main idea of a cave dweller

Or make it so it never dies, but when it takes enough damage it flees

​@@luminariel3765it's kinda called "cave" dweller, so...

Considering his main inspirations are the Enderman and Baby Zombie for their fear factor, adding a bit of Spider movement skill couldn't hurt. Ooh! Now I'm imagining a Cave Dweller that does have the Spider's ability to stick to walls, cause now imagine hearing those noises in a large cave, yet no matter how many times you spin around, you just can't find it... Only for you to look up, and it just drops on you.

It is baby zombie+enderman+scp-096

@@White_Van_free_candy I think he just said zombie+enderman

@@CatsForMe_Meow no def baby zombie, bc he can crawl into 1 block spaces

@@karamanid he also said enderman bc its tall, so tall but can crawl into small spaces :)

@@White_Van_free_candythe author states the baby zombie and the enderman for the fact that it can reach and crouch into 1 tile places, which mobs normally don’t do, and it had to be tall like the later

omg tysmmm

Much appreciated! Thank you.

thank i didnt know i needed this but thank you 🥺🥺🥺🥺

The first encounter is 911 lel

37:54 - As Shaun heard the scream, the dweller appeared in the upper right corner of the screen, yet doesn't attack

Its complementary shaders just in case you didn’t know

Yeah this is fucked up

The shader breaks the animations tho

@@sboy2044 idk then just try and use a different version or something maybe?

@@user-ei5vf6ds5o wait but i dont think complementary has global illumination right?

FR

not really 😭

@@yazziesnonsense8310be nice to him hes doing his best

@mossyrocks3967 he needs to turn off the shader for glow lichen, because then it just becomes Eyes and a jaw in the distance

@@user-qo6uv8fj3lBlud doesn’t know how to mention someone 😭😭😭

Because the Warden is the true horror and final boss of MineCraft. Even the Dweller can be juked, but when the Warden wakes up, all you can do is run and/or hide.

Thank you for your work, comrade👍

I think it’s just glowvein at 2:47

You also missed him walk at 3:05 Don’t just go through the video quickly

@@Chunga9 Thanks

The word fair doesn't work in this sentence, fare is the one you should use in its place.

@@ConoratorYou’re right, that’s my bad 😅

@@alastor6673 I believe proper grammar to be a useful skill. Your response is unnecessarily passive-aggressive, basically amounting to "I'm so sorry that you can't understand how *nobody cares,"* despite how my comment was not intended to be disrespectful in any manner. I even made several revisions of my comment in an attempt to make it as inoffensive as possible, as I know that corrections including nothing but a word and an asterisk are generally seen as rude, but it seems like my comment was still taken as an insult on your overall intelligence. If you make a mistake and somebody corrects it in a way that is not even intended to be an insult, the most impolite response possible is to get defensive and try to prove how capable you are. Is grammar a touchy subject for you? Or do you just not think of it as important? If it was the latter, you could've very easily written something along the lines of "I understand how you see proper grammar as important, but I only really care for how well people can understand what I'm saying." But you instead chose to insult me. Maybe you read my comment in a rude tone and assumed that was my intent? I don't like to start arguments over small mishaps, so I just want to suggest that you start reading comments in a neutral tone. It'll help you see them from a different point of view, and maybe improve your attitude towards others. You'll be generally more liked as a result of that, and it'll positively affect your social life. And maybe this end is taking you a bit off-guard, because you were expecting me to insult you, and started reading the comment in a rude tone once again. If that's the case, try re-reading it in a more polite and respectful tone. I understand that proper punctuation and long words can immediately be registered as disrespectful or argumentative, and I don't want you to see me in the wrong light as a result of that preconception.

@@alastor6673 And if don't wish to read my other comment because of the length, I can't make you. But please, don't reply again if you don't plan on reading it. There's a good amount of important information in there.

@@Conorator Nice opinion, however this is the internet and no one fuckin cares.

not really worth a full playthrough tbh

@@hellofend4734 oh yeah definitely not until its more fleshed out but its a nice mod showcase kinda video

Goofy ahh world tho

I think it would be less scary. And lessen the horror. With less distractions. You're just gonna be 100% of the time thinking about the dweller. So the encounters are less scary because you are always ready for it.

@@Vance415 Yes, less horror but it will provide a worse feeling, terror. You'll be worried about the unknown the whole time with less distractions

Don't know about the classic like caves but i agree with the mob removal. The complete silence from lack of mobs that would only be broken by the roars and sounds of the creature would be terrifying. It's literally just YOU and IT. I think the old caves are a bit boring. The new cave generation is more atmospheric and creepy and fits better with the cave dweller. Just my opinion though. There is no right or wrong here

@@vilxux9752 I think it would be cool (and scary) too if the Dweller didn't play it's full hand immediately. To lull the player into a false sense of security. Basically have it have a "pissed off" meter. The higher that meter, the more likely it is to do shit like crawl into holes and climb. So like the first few encounters, it stalks you, chases you briefly, and then goes away. At first, it stops if you dig into 2x2 holes, and doesn't climb up after you, it just disappears. After a few more encounters, it crawls after you. Then starts climbing up to you. And then, at long last, breaks blocks to get to you, following you out of caves onto the surface, etc. The more you piss it off, the more relentlessly it hunts you down.

I'm... pretty sure that's just the algorithm, buddy

Probably true, I just found it to be a funny coincidence that within the same hour I randomly stumbled upon the mode, Forge uploaded this vid on it.

Mod came out really recently

And/or is blowing up asf

@@visfire_4256 Ya, I’m quickly realizing that. Still, a hilarious coincidence that almost immediately after discovering the mod for the first time, a new notification showed that Forge uploaded his latest vid and sure enough, the cave dweller was on the thumbnail. Not sure if algorithms were responsible, Forge just happened to upload his video within the hour I discovered it.

there have been tons of horror mods and maps for minecraft prior to this? Are you guys really that young?

@@dylanroemmele906 No, I have, but they were only scary when I was younger. I look at them now and they're not scary.
