Minecraft: 9 Creepiest Mods

The Blood Magic mod adds a dark and strong magic system to Minecraft, but you’ll have to pay with blood for its powerful effects.

Minecraft is a playground game that lets you be as creative as you want. Players can build, explore areas that are randomly created, and look for materials in the game world. But for some people, the basic game isn’t enough. You can change the game into a whole new experience with the help of mods.

There are a lot of different kinds of mods, and some of you are looking for scary, creepy, and strange ones. You’ve come to the right place if you’re sick of the small details of standard Minecraft and want to turn it into a scary game.

Blood Magic

A demonic looking, primarily red, black, and white temple with pentagrams and an altar in the center.

If you’ve ever thought that some magic mods were too easy on players, Blood Magic will make you work for it. Everything has a cost, and you’ll have to pay with blood to fully benefit from dark, powerful magic.

As you work to gain more powerful magical powers and change forms using your own blood and the blood and souls of other creatures, you will slowly learn why blood is seen as a dark, dangerous, and banned substance in the magical world.

Stalker Creepers

A creeper patiently stalks a player from the back, remaining close nearby, waiting to explode when they turn around.

It’s funny how straight the creepers in Minecraft are; they don’t seem at all like the usual creeper. In Stalker Creepers, the creeper AI is changed so that they scare you more often instead of walking normally, with laser-like focus, and with aggression.

There are now creepers that will follow you around Drift Boss and stay close to you no matter what you do. From the moment you turn around and look at one, it will start to detonate right away. In this mod, shields are a must.

Sculk Horde

A dark, foggy biome with dead trees and glowing, bright blue flora.

The Sculk Horde is an end-game mod that demands you to awaken and beat a wide range of aggressive, adaptable life forms that are determined to consume all living things they come across. This fundamental threat will only get stronger over time.

Each sick and absorbed mob is ruled by a Gravemind, an all-powerful being that will always be trying to gain more power and plan against you. You should also be careful about fighting these enemies where they live, because nature can be eaten and changed into Sculk Ecosystems.

The Man From The Fog

A grassy environment at night, with a tall, black, humanoid figure with a large mouth.

If you like atmospheric horror, The Man From The Fog mod will add a creepy, slightly humanoid figure with a big, scary mouth to your adventures at night. Do not get too close to this thing, or it will start running at you.

In case you have to fight, you should have a shield handy to protect yourself from the Fog Man’s constant attacks. If not, running for your life is the only thing that will save you, but only for a short time.

The John Reborn

An incredibly tall, bloodied humanoid with white skin and two different mouths towers over a snowy village.

This is the mod for you if you want to add a terrifyingly huge monster with two bloody mouths that is 15 blocks tall and looks a lot like some of the huge humanoid monsters in Attack on Titan.

But keep in mind that this is just one type of the white-skinned creatures that this mod adds. Each has its own pros and cons. Watch out for “Sprinting Johns” or groups of “Baby Johns” that can easily pass you by in dark cave systems.

Horror Elements

Multiple, messy pools of blood and bright green liquids on a grassy, forest floor.

You don’t have to use redstone dust as blood splatters if you want to make your own scary maps with the Horror Elements mod. It adds custom blocks, 14 blood splatters, and 45 horror-themed elements to make the mood or experience better.

With skeletons and bodies made of ragdolls, hanging spinal cords, mob heads on spikes, wooden signs with blood-stained words, and many other gross props, it will be easy to create a truly terrifying Minecraft experience.

Gigeresque For Minecraft

A first-person view of a dark, narrow corridor with a black-skinned alien approaching.

The Gigeresque mod can help you bring Alien: Isolation to Minecraft if you like the idea. It’s okay if you don’t want to build your own space station, though. In many of Minecraft’s biomes, you can find all sorts of modified Alien subvariants.

If you find an ugly, sticky alien egg, smash it for the sake of yourself and the other person you’re playing with. You don’t want the thing that’s growing inside it to hatch. Also, be careful of the facehuggers unless you want an alien parasite to burst out of your chest.

Mutant Monsters

A large, snowy golem with a glowing pumpkin head standing on a frozen body of water with icy mountains in the background.

Mutant Monsters is the best mod for adding a lot of new, dangerous enemies to your game. Lots of different monsters to find and fight, like spiderpigs, giant Endermen with four arms, and zombies that have been changed.

There are different mob-specific rewards you can get if you beat these tough enemies. These include unique weapons like a mysterious, earth-shaking hammer, crafting materials that you can use to make new armor sets, or a mysterious egg that will hatch if you wait long enough.

Pathogen: Monster Plague

A four-legged, reptilian creature with yellow eyes and brown scales chained up in a white-walled, wood floored room.

In Pathogen: Monster Plague, you’ll meet a lot of monsters and mutated animals that are one of a kind. Some monsters look like four-legged snakes, but when mobs like iron golems, villagers, cows, or chickens get sick and change, they turn into truly scary horrors.

This mod adds a lot of guns, protection, and other things that can help you fight back and protect yourself. You’ll need all the help you can get now that there are over 80 new enemies. Be careful as you move, because different biomes have different kinds of monsters.
