# Thanatophobia — Changelog ## v1.0.4 — The Immersion Update ### 🧱 Block & Item Fear Modifiers A brand-new proximity-based fear system inspired by sanity:dim. Certain blocks and items now directly affect the player's fear level: **Fear-increasing blocks** (within 5-block radius): - Sculk Shrieker, Sculk Catalyst, Sculk Sensor, Sculk Vein - Skeleton/Wither Skeleton/Zombie/Creeper/Piglin/Player Skulls - Spawners, End Portal, Nether Portal, Dragon Egg - Soul Sand, Soul Soil, Soul Fire, Crying Obsidian - Bone Blocks, Cobwebs, Wither Rose, Cave Vines **Fear-reducing blocks:** - Beacon (strongest), Campfire, Lantern, Torch, Glowstone - Jack o'Lantern, Sea Lantern, Shroomlight - Jukebox, Note Block, Enchanting Table, Bookshelf, Cake **Held item modifiers:** - Totem of Undying, swords, shields, torches, compass, clock reduce fear - Skulls, rotten flesh, spider eyes, ghast tears, nether star increase fear - Effects apply from both main hand and off-hand *Toggleable in config: "Block/Item Fear Modifiers"* --- ### 👤 Shadow Watcher — Complete Overhaul The Shadow Watcher entity has been totally reworked based on player feedback: - **Stands on solid ground** — no longer floats mid-air (gravity enabled, physics collision for ground detection) - **Smooth player tracking** — head and body smoothly rotate to always face the nearest player (5°/tick interpolation) - **Reactive behavior** — if the player approaches within 6 blocks: - 70% chance: teleports behind the player (20-35 blocks away) - 30% chance: silently vanishes (creepy disappearance) - **Better spawn placement** — spawns 20-35 blocks away with guaranteed solid ground validation (±15 Y search) - **Spawn cooldown** increased to 40-80 seconds for less spam - **Lifetime** extended to 40 seconds --- ### 🎨 New Visual Effects Massively expanded visual feedback system with 6 new effects: | Effect | Trigger | Description | |--------|---------|-------------| | **Color Tint Shift** | 30%+ fear | Sickly green/yellow overlay that gradually shifts to deep red at high fear | | **Chromatic Aberration** | 45%+ fear | Colored horizontal lines (red, cyan, magenta) with horizontal offset — simulates camera distortion | | **CRT Scan Lines** | 55%+ fear | Scrolling dark horizontal lines across the screen — old TV effect | | **Tunnel Vision** | 65%+ fear | Pulsating black borders narrowing the field of view | | **Sharp Brightness Flash** | 80%+ fear | Rare white or red camera-flash bursts | | **Fog Color Shift** | 60%+ fear | World fog gradually tints toward dark brownish-red | All effects are animated, pulse with time, and scale in intensity with fear level. --- ### ⚙️ New Config Options Three new toggles added to the in-game config screen (Effects section): - **Chromatic Aberration** — toggle chromatic distortion lines - **CRT Scan Lines** — toggle the retro scan line effect - **Block/Item Fear Modifiers** — toggle the proximity-based block/item fear system All options include full English and Russian localization. --- ### 🔧 Technical Changes - Desaturation overlay now triggers earlier (40% instead of 50%) - Shadow Watcher spawner now respects `paranormalEnabled` config - Block proximity check runs every 20 ticks (1 second) for performance - Held item check runs every tick for responsive feedback - Fixed: removed unused field warnings --- *Minecraft 1.20.1 | Forge 47.4.16*
