Ever since Minecraft was released back in 2011, many people in its community have created countless mods that capture the horror factor of the block game. Since the game's single-player mode can often feel eerie, people started adding scary creatures and events to turn the survival game into horror.

Doctor Nowhere is one of the recently made horror mods that has gained a lot of traction in just a few months. Here is everything you need to know about the Doctor Nowhere mod for Minecraft.

Doctor Nowhere is a Minecraft horror mod that massively changes how Minecraft looks and feels. Firstly, it removes all the mobs present in vanilla Minecraft. By removing every living entity, the modder amped up the eerie factor of the game, making worlds empty. The only entities present in the world will be the player and the unknown creatures added through the mod.

The mod also adds terrifying random audio and visual events. Players can encounter new kinds of sound effects, weird graphical glitches, and even witness horrific faces in the dark corners of a cave. Doctor Nowhere will also dramatically increase the fog, making it difficult for players to see clearly.

Lastly, the mod adds two creatures that will spawn from time to time. The first one is named Follower, which will follow players around in the dark, and the Locust, a horrific creature that will also chase and attack players.

The modder (Ishak) promised more events and mobs for the future as they continue to develop the Doctor Nowhere mod.
