Our notes on THE DWELLERS

What sets it apart

THE DWELLERS is a Forge horror pack. The page lists creatures such as The NIGHTMARE, the Man from the Fog and a Herobrine variant, along with a sanity mechanic and a paranoia system that triggers unsettling events. An Insanity Shader distorts the picture as sanity drops.

The mod list backs this up. It includes The Man From The Fog, From The Fog, The One Who Watches and Sanity: Descent Into Madness. Atmosphere comes from Sound Physics Remastered, AmbientSounds and Simple Voice Chat for proximity talk, with first-person model and animation mods layered on top.

Of the 50 listed projects, a large share is performance work: Embeddium, Oculus, Canary, ModernFix and FerriteCore.

Who it suits

Players who want a scary survival run, alone or with a group. Modrinth tags it Adventure, Challenging and Multiplayer.

It is not aimed at weak PCs. The author publishes hardware figures: a 6 GB RAM minimum with 16 GB recommended, and, to run the shaders, at least an RTX 3050 with a 13th-gen i5, 12th or 11th-gen i7, or 10th-gen i9. These are the author’s recommendations; no measurements are published.

Before you install

Modrinth lists Minecraft 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 on Forge. The newest version, 5.3, was published January 30, 2024, so expect no recent changes. Its changelog mentions reworked shader effects, disabled Man from the Fog spawn sounds and a voice chat fix. The page lists no known issues.

The license is CC-BY-NC-4.0. The page’s install steps use the Modrinth App, either by importing the .mrpack file or searching for the pack.

The mod list includes Essential Mod, a third-party online-features mod. The page does not discuss it.

Horror intensity and any jump-scare settings are not documented.

Playing with friends

Modrinth lists the pack as required on both client and server, so everyone needs the same version. No separate server files are offered and the page gives no server setup steps.

Simple Voice Chat is in the mod list and the page mentions built-in proximity chat for multiplayer. The page does not say how voice chat is meant to be set up on a server.
