As if Minecraft wasn’t interesting enough, it turns out you can make it even better. Some of the best additions players can make are scary Minecraft mods to get themselves spooked. This list will show you some of the best Minecraft horror mods you can add to your blocky world. So with that, learn how to install Minecraft mods, and let’s begin!
1. From The Fog
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.20.6
- Mod loader(s): Forge, Fabric, Quilt, Rift
Herobrine is an iconic fan-made horror character that most long-time Minecraft players know about. Well, the From The Fog mod introduces Herobrine as a real in-game entity that follows the player around and stalks them either from a distance or up close. You can make these encounters more interesting if you build the iconic shrine to him, which will skip the three-day delay on survival.
Some of the things this scary figure can do include placing pyramid structures, breaking the torches you placed, jump scaring you, extinguishing candles, leaving strange messages for you and so much more. So, if you’re a fan of Herobrine, this is the first scary Minecraft mod you must install.
2. The Mimicer
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.19.2
- Mod loader(s): Forge
The Mimicer mod introduces a monster and a very unique one too. It looks like a massive spider version of the Steve skin and is quite honestly horrifying. It is especially scary when you are exploring the caves, due to all the noises it makes.
Not only that but as soon as you see it, you’ll want to get out immediately. And you’d better do that quickly because if the Mimicer catches up to you, the game’s over. Check out this scary Minecraft mod to be at unease.
3. Siren Head: The Arrival
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.20.1
- Mod loader(s): Forge
Siren Head monster is a very original and terrifying character that was created a few years ago. This Minecraft horror mod focuses on adding it to the game as a living mob. It’s an extremely tall skinny creature with the iconic siren head feature that roams the woods at night.
Also, if you hear any weird footstep sounds, then you’d better start running because this towering beast is out to get you. As someone who was always scared of Siren Head, this horror Minecraft mod is one I am never installing!
4. The Dweller King
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.19.2
- Mod loader(s): Forge
The Dweller King mod is fairly simple, as it introduces another scary dweller mob to the world of Minecraft. However, this monster is not just scary, it’s absolutely terrifying with its three red heads, open mouths, and skinny creepy model. He deals decent damage and will make you wonder if adding it was a good idea at all.
5. Apollyon
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.20.1
- Mod loader(s): Forge
Are you looking for a new monster with creepy eyes and a massive smile? Well, then the Apollyon is what you need. This mod introduces a creepy structure with a half-dead villager inside.
However, this villager transforms into the true black monster with sharp claws and a horrifying face. The only way to get rid of it is to kill it, but it may first play with you for a while before trying to kill you. That’s just how good this scary Minecraft mod is.
6. The Man From The Fog
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.20.1
- Mod loader(s): Forge, Fabric (available here)
This is one of the peak scariest horror mods you can add to Minecraft. It adds a unique monster with a complex AI and the ability to stalk and chase the player. It spawns every night and watches the player from afar.
But then if you ignore it, it’ll creep closer and closer and even brutally attack you if you dare to look at it. Whether you like it or not, you cannot avoid it once spawned. Avoid this scary Minecraft mod at all costs if you like your sanity.
7. The Irritator
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.20
- Mod loader(s): Forge
The Irritator is another ginormous monster with a gaping mouth and frightening appearance. This thing spawns at night only, makes aggravating sounds when near you, and gives you irritation. Not only that, but it can crawl into tiny places and reach you no matter where you go. So, it’s best to stay away from it or try to kill it fast.
8. Cave Dweller Reimagined
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.20.1
- Mod loader(s): Forge
The Cave Dweller Reimagined is one of the best horror mods for Minecraft. It adds a familiar cave dweller monster to your world, but instead of the original mod, you actually get something even better.
This version of the Cave Dweller mod introduces an upgraded monster with a scarier appearance and smarter abilities. This is by far one of the best Minecraft mods to install.
9. TheBoiledOne
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.20.1
- Mod loader(s): Forge
TheBoiledOne mod is not too different from all the other horror mods on this list, but it is my favorite. This mod adds a fairly tall and crooked dark monster with red glowing eyes, a big mouth, and some sort of tentacles coming out of its body.
This creature stalks the player and also produces some really unsettling sounds. Finally, to kill you, this giant monster will spit boiling water in your face, hence the name of the mod.
10. The Anomaly
- Latest Minecraft version: 1.20.1
- Mod loader(s): Forge
The last mod on our list is the Anomaly and it adds a complex and disturbing entity to your world. This entity looks like a haunted version of Steve, but can also take on a different much more terrifying form.
It won’t bother nor stalk you until you look at it for the first time. It spawns during the night and inside caves. Then, every time you sleep, this creature will increasingly aggressive. Finally, and this is the most gruesome feature, this monster kills your pets. So, make sure they’re with you all the time.
With that said, those were the scariest and must have horror mods you should include in your Minecraft playthrough. The horror mod genre is on the rise, so expect to see many more incredible mods popping up. So, which mod on this list is your favorite? Share with us in the comments below!
