The Everlasting Fog [The Horrors Cave Dweller, Herobrine, & More]

[THE ESSENTIAL MOD IS NOW CONFIRMED TO WORK WITH THE MODPACK, WHICH MEANS MULTIPLAYER CAN BE ACCESSED IN-GAME!]

[REQUIRED; TURN ON INSANITY SHADERS IN-GAME. OPTIONALLY; YOU MAY ALSO TURN ON RESOURCE PACKS FOR ENHANCED ZOMBIES FOR A BETTER NIGHT, AND LEAVES.]

[IF YOU ARE EVER STUCK IN THE MODPACK, CHECK ADVANCEMENTS/ACHIEVEMENTS! THEY WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE SOMETHING TO DO.]

[IMPORTANT; If a world seems glitched, laggy, or ticked out, you may need to re-worldgen, as this normally fixes the problem, however since you might not get a new worldgen first try, the problem can also be resolved by leaving the area you are in, and finding somewhere with less infection.]

Herobrine himself welcomes you into this modpack, you enter his world, his server, and you will play his games.
This modpack is based around various horror mods, all of which will be explained in dear time.

But first, a few things to note;
1. THIS MODPACK IS INTENDED FOR SURVIVAL/HARDCORE

3. THE WITHERSTORM IS OPTIONAL, TICK DIFFERENCES WILL BE APPARENT ONCE IT IS SPAWNED, BE WARY OF STAYING IN ONE PLACE FOR LONG DUE TO INFECTION AS-WELL.

4. TO CHECK THE FULL LIST OF CREDITED MODS, THEY ARE INGAME, SELECT MODS, MOST MOD-PAGES ARE CREDITED THERE WITH LINKS.

5. YOU MUST CRAFT MATCHES TO CREATE LIT TORCHES, LIGHT MAY BE RARE.

6. For a more immersive experience, turn off MUSIC in Music & Sounds Settings.

7. BOSS PROGRESSION MAY BE FOUND IN ADVANCEMENTS, IN ANY ORDER YOU WISH.

[Mini Dev-Log: I am focusing on removing tick issues, and have found multiple fixes for certain scenarios, but I am trying to find the best fix as it's pretty much impossible to remove tick-lag completely with 200+ mods. The Witherstorm Mod will be re-added in V1.4 as it was causing problems with the Weeping Angel mod in all previous versions due to their teleportation, and they would frequently instantly kill you by teleporting you to a place where you would suffocate. As an extra note, if anyone dislikes the enhanced visuals of heartbeat when you're low on HP or the vanilla hunger system, I shall remove it.
11/23/23 update; I am aware of the many issues and took a break for Thanksgiving, still unaware of what is the main problem of the ticks, but I'm waiting for one of the better older optimization mods to become availbile.]

THE FOG IS COMING.

Many threats such as Herobrine, and many others lurk in the fog.

Surprisingly, infection may be your greatest threat. The Spore, Thing, and Sculk Horde all threaten your world with disease and horror.

The world has been ravaged by Illagers and their forces, beware their many encampents, but you had advantage against them; they are very slow in this new World.

Herobrine's reign changed many creatures, Endermen evolved and shifted into creatures of great threat, the Nether adapted and was nurtured into a thriving horror, and the night has become even worse than even the greatest of threats.

The caves have shifted and changed, and awaiting you in them is the Cave Dweller and many more creatures waiting to feast on your grave.

0,0,0 may be the greatest hope you have to fight against the darkness, located there is the Witherstorm, and below it in the Deep Dark is the Tomb of Sculk.

If a quest is what you seek, you may find the vanguard of Herobrine from L_Ender 's Cataclysm.

You may find the parasites and disease to be your greatest threat. Hide, barricade your doors and windows, do not let them in and infect you.

The night bleeds, and if you cannot find shelter by nightfall, you will almost certainly be doomed.

Herobrine's reach extends beyond that of the main bosses, he has many vanguard born from his wrath.

[THE SOUL FORGE] Can be found in the Nether, and contains Herobrine's second finest vanguard there; the Netherite Monstrosity, he is a very tough individual, and you will need to prepare considerably before going after him, but the rewards he bears will be grand.

[THE RUINED CITADEL] Can be found in the End, its vanguard; the Ender Guardian will be protecting it at the heart. He himself has his own defenses and army, and taking him on will be quite difficult, so be prepared, but the rewards will be grand.

[THE SUNKEN CITY] Found in the most hidden parts on the top of the ocean, once an abandoned base of players turned into The Leviathan's fortress... The Leviathan had many children which had spread throughout the oceans, which you may encounter on the way to the Sunken City, but the main mother of the Leviathans inside of the Sunken City, and is the toughest of them all, bearing the most grand of rewards.

[THE ANCIENT FACTORY] A still functioning factory from when players ruled the planet, now a testing place for Herobrine's main expirement; The Harbinger. Herobrine created a horror in tampering with Withers on his quest to create a stronger variant of the Witherstorm, the Harbinger is born of hatred and malice, and will be a foe that no surviving player dare stand against. However, it may need a Nether Star to be powered.

[THE BURNING ARENA] The replacement for the Netherite Monstrosity and Herobrine's finest vanguard there; Ignis, and his tower-like arena. To summon him, you must collect his minion's flames and use it in his altar of fire, only then will you face the champion of the Nether.

The caves and night are the most dangerous of all.

Herobrine will stalk you at all times of day, messing with your world.

He has sent a guardian to the caves, the Cave Dweller (Cave Dweller Reimagined)
Perhaps you will even catch a glimpse of the Blood Moon, said to be cut open by Herobrine himself to bleed onto the world.

The undead will be agitated at all times, and will challenge you with hordes of monsters, and animals.

Do not let the parasites grow, even during the day they will still be your biggest threat. But you can use this to your advantage; Parasites do not like any lifeform that is not them, making your enemies allies.

Herobrine may not be noticeable for a few days, perhaps you'll catch a glimpse of him staring at you, or walking by, but his powers won't be apparent until later on.

The caves will however, reward you for exploring them... But still, it'll be a challenge to STAY in them, or even FIND them.

(Sleep Tight Mod:) You may also realize that sleeping at night may be difficult, however, there is a solution! Try your best to craft the Night Bag, and you can sleep wherever, whenever! Or perhaps a hammock will do better? Allowing you to sleep in the day. Also to note about beds, sleeping eight times in the same bed will mark it as your home bed, giving you a special effect as you wake up, but make sure you sleep in your home bed! And if, for whatever reason, you see bed bugs, DESTROY THEM! They will infest your bed and make it unsleepable. Protect your bed at all costs! And if you happen to be a serial-sleeper, be careful, the more nights you consecutively sleep, the more risk you gain to get a nightmare at night.

 
The Sculk Horde can also be found at 0,0,0 in your world, and will prove to be yet another great infection challenge.

Long before the world had a name...

Herobrine, the first player, the first hacker, the first whatever you want to call him at this point, are his origins even known?
All that you know is that he is an entity of mischief? Evil? Or creation itself?
You will find remnants of the players he killed or... Banned? Across the world as you explore, structures left abandoned for all time.

Villagers and villages that had assisted players in the past are armored, and more willing to fight alongside you after seeing what Herobrine's hordes have done to their fallen comrades, especially the Spore Infection as it grows ever forward into villages, or the Illager Invasions.

Herobrine had worked on a killing machine, the Witherstorm, and the Harbinger is a prototype, however, Herobrine never finished the Witherstorm, and he was only one component away from finishing it before he gave up... Wonder what it was? Well, it seems like it was completely scrapped now, don't have to worry about the Witherstorm anymore.
His vanguard are created to fortify the world's evil from any now foreign entities.

And his Sculk Horde is his tool in-case he ever needed to fully reset the world, a living organism that's almost plantlike.

His other hatreds spread across the world, and even aliens want a taste of the battle.

The caves and Nether only prospered in this, creating entire eco-systems which were not there before, but also creating even more dangerous threats.

What is known is that you must stop his vanguard and hordes from spreading evil across the land. That is your quest.
