The Idol

This mod adds a persistent horror entity that exists fully server-side while having client-side effects to create an intense, immersive stalking experience in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

It is recommended to play in multiplayer to maximize the horror aspect of the mod. (DEDICATED SERVERS DO NOT WORK)

The entity actively tracks players over time, observing from a distance before closing in. Its behavior is not scripted to specific locations and will adapt to player movement, ensuring encounters feel real and unpredictable.

The Idol isn't meant to be an "in your face" type mod and is meant for longer playthroughs, but when He appears, you'll know it. The entity takes a while to spawn, so if you wish you can change its spawnrate with the /the_idol_config command.

WARNING!

If you wish to play the mod on VR, make sure to bind the GUIs to the head, not the arm! Otherwise it'll look weird having a jumpscare on your arm. Some events might also not work on VR. Nothing I can do about these issues sadly.

Features

Spoiler

ITEMS:

The mod adds multiple items to aid in surviving the entity:

EMF reader:

Using the EMF reader, you can determine the entity's stage. The higher the EMF, the more deadly The Idol becomes. (You can use any kind of dye!)

EMF reader recipe

Spirit Box:

Using the Spirit Box, you can locate the entity when it's spawned in. There are unique answers for every situation you're in. Although, he will not respond if he's not spawned in your world.

Polaroid:

Using the Polaroid you can stun The Idol when it's chasing you. But be warned: using it too much can anger the entity and result in certain doom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you port to 1.19.2/(insert other version)? No, I am not able to port to any other versions due to plugin limitations.

The Idol's hands keep appearing on my screen and killing me. How can I avoid this?

For this event you need to close your eyes. (Check keybinds)

Is it a dweller mod? No, It is not a dweller mod. It has its own events, sounds, AI, mechanics, etc.

Is there a config? Yes, there is a config. Use the /the_idol_config command to access it.

About the config:

  • The config json file will appear in the “config“ folder named “theidolv“. You can also access and config the mod using the “/the_idol_config“ command. The setting you put will save across all worlds and, if you wish to include the mod in a modpack, you can upload the config settings alongside the modpack incase you want to disable something. In multiplayer - The config settings will be the host’s, the only setting that will be client side is the “background“ toggle. The host is determined by the first player that joins the world. Only the host can access the config, other people will be able to open the “client config“ that just has the background toggle.

Hey everyone! First of all, I want to thank you all for 1M total downloads! It is an incredible milestone to achieve and I am grateful for every one of you! I started this as a small hobby, being passionate about coding, and I did not think I would reach 100k let alone 1 Million! Secondly, I want to apologize for my inactivity and lack of updates/mods. I was going through a stressful time in my life and had to take a break. Because of all the bugs that The Idol has, I have decided to start again completely from scratch, redoing all the code and making everything more organized and optimised. I am hoping that, this time, the bugs I’ve been fighting against for countless updates will finally go away, including the multiplayer incompatability. Changelog: - Remade everything from scratch - Improved VFX - Added a lot more SFX - Created a File (json) config that saves for every world you create *read more about this at the end - Made entity event spawns configurable if you dont desire a specific entity event to spawn - Revamped Broadcast - Revamped Jumpscare - Revamped Spirit Box mechanic - New mechanic: Holding your breath (default keybind is H) - Revamped almost every event - Added 3 new events and minigames - Added The Idol’s head as a trophy obtainable by killing it (can be placed on the floor or hung from a wall) - Added advancements - You can disable the background through the config instead of needing to download a different version - Added text that tells the player to close their eyes during the hands grab event - Made entities replace water with ice - Made players able to flashbang other players with the polaroid - Made entities not get stuck in boats Fixed broadcast text being desynced compared to the audio - New system for cutscene timers that should be less buggy and desynced - Fixed a shitton of bugs - Made footprint and handprint texture 64x64 to blend more with the game’s pixely theme - You can now wash the footprints and handprints using a water bucket - Made all UI elements dissapear while getting jumpscared or while the broadcast is playing About the config: - The config json file will appear in the “config“ folder named “theidolv“. You can also access and config the mod using the “/the_idol_config“ command. The setting you put will save across all worlds and, if you wish to include the mod in a modpack, you can upload the config settings alongside the modpack incase you want to disable something. In multiplayer - The config settings will be the host’s, the only setting that will be client side is the “background“ toggle. The host is determined by the first player that joins the world.
