Minecraft A Quiet Place mod: Features, installation guide, and more

Minecraft is a surprisingly horrific game, just below the surface. Creepers are downright terrifying and will cause players to jump at the smallest sound, while cave noises can send shivers down the spines of even experienced miners. So it should come as no surprise that Mojang's blocky masterpiece is also home to a number of horror mods.

One of the most interesting, from a survival gameplay perspective, of these horror mods is OverMan's Quiet Place, which, as the name suggests, is based on the A Quite Place series.

This article contains everything you need to know about this horrific mod, from it's major features to how to install it.

All about the A Quiet Place mod

• Creator: overman_steepg

As previously mentioned, OverMan's Quiet Place is directly inspired by the A Quiet Place films directed initially by John Krasinski. It adds in the monsters from the film's universe, known as death angels, that players must try and survive around. Much like the films, these Minecraft mobs react to sound and will chase down and attack players that they hear.

Death angels are incredibly fast and powerful enough to destroy blocks to reach their target. They can also climb walls, meaning that it's impossible to block them off or pillar up to escape them. Their large hitbox also makes it easy for them to strike players around shields, and their thick skin makes it very hard to damage them normally.

Thankfully, the creatures' incredible hearing can be used against them, just like in the film. You can craft a radio, which can be charged using redstone blocks, which can be placed down and activated. If a death angel is near, it will be stunned and open its head, giving you the perfect opportunity to strike it down.

Even being quiet isn't enough. If a death angel doesn't hear you for a bit, it will open its armor and start to listen for your breathing. If you happen to be nearby and not crouching, they'll locate you. This makes them a constant threat, even to careful players.
