Ever wanted to make your Minecraft fears become real? This addon adds some popular well known Monsters to your Minecraft world inspired by Java, but with an interesting twist exclusive to Bedrock!

Fearcraft the Experiment Addon for Bedrock [Inspired by Java]

👀

I have been slowly started reworking Fearcraft lately! It's a work in progress still!

BUT: You can already find an experimental version of the Fearcraft rework version on Modbay!

⚠️ Warning: This version might be buggy and change a lot each update! It's not guaranteed to work!
For people who like to be lab rats or scientists like me, come help me improve this new version of Fearcraft and report any bugs or share any tips for future improvements!👨🏼‍🔬

It's still the main/best version of Fearcraft lol! ; )

Entities in the Fearcraft the Experiment as of now:

  • The Man From the Fog with unique AI
  • The One Who Watches Reborn with a twist
  • The Cave Dweller Reimagined with unique AI
  • The Knocker with unique AI
  • The Shadow Figure
  • The new Goatman with unique AI
  • The King Dweller with unique AI
  • The Cartoon Cat Dweller with unique AI
  • Herobrine basic version(Can be expanded by overriding with Haunted by Herobrine Remake V3)
  • Null basic version

The entities spawn after a few days! You can hear them early tho!

Please don't ask about spawneggs, they come later lol!😝

This version differs a lot from the older one!☝️

Stay tuned for any updates!

Have a fantastic time!

Cheers!🥂 😎🤩👻👀🤗👍

Important: "Fearcraft the Experiment" is the new main version of the addon! You don't need the extra jumpscare pack anymore! Also Fearcraft the Experiment is best played individually, even though it's compatible with others, for the best experience! This is a Modpack containing most of my newer addons/mods! Using utility addons like dynamic light or vain miner etc is fine! I strongly recommend leaving other dweller addons out! For the intended experience!

Warning: The Legacy Fearcraft version is older and only works below Minecraft version 1.21.80! Fearcraft the Experiment however, works in the most recent Minecraft versions! Even preview lately lol!

Announcement including compromise about Credit confusion:

Let's first say sorry for not updating this page info in a very long time! It caused quite some confusion, unfortunately! I have a really hard time keeping track of the information, and sometimes I forget who's involved with it!

The Fearcraft Addon is strongly inspired by Java and uses some creations from developers from the Java platform! Because of the way I handle stress, I completely forgot about giving them credit for their hard and original work! I'm still not very familiar with all Java developers involved! I haven't played Java that much yet, lol! I respect the original creators of the entities and I don't have any bad intentions at all! I just liked to make something nice and familiar for Bedrock! Bedrock doesn't really have a big addon community yet! I only code the entities Bedrock AI! Some of my friends made Bedrock versions of the entities! Our Bedrock versions work different from Java! But we should at least have asked for permission! I'm sorry for that!

I'm really thankful to "everyone" who's involved with both the original Java mods and bedrock version of those mods! I will give credit to those I'm familiar with being involved in this!

If something isn't correct, feel free to ask me about it! I do my best to make this as fair as possible!

I prefer things to be positive and legit!

Credits

Fearcraft for Bedrock is highly inspired by the Java originals:

  • Thanks to Gargin, Swayle, Flame, Pixelcoder and all other great Java developers that made those amazing dwellers!
  • Thanks to Dinoking2021 for starting the Fearcraft addon and making the first legacy entitie models himself!
  • Thanks to Lucasgh for making the Weeping Angels models used in this addon!
  • Thanks to OldArcadeFun for making the Bedrock version of the Night Dweller!
  • Thanks to Mr Puff, Jack Dixon and Mopeygadog for creating the Bedrock versions of the models, textures, animations and sounds inspired by the Java originals!
  • Thanks to cpzlvslpz for the extra ambient sounds in the addon!
  • At last me (DolphinMasterMB) made the Bedrock version code for those cool monsters! But with a bit of a twist to make them interesting for Bedrock players!

The Fearcraft Addon for Bedrock in short

Fearcraft is an addon adding some interesting horrors to Minecraft Bedrock! Most of those horrors are inspired by popular Java mods! Fearcraft aims for an interesting and quite familiar horror experience on the Bedrock platform of Minecraft!

This addon is in public beta and will update very quickly fixing bugs and adding interesting new stuff! Fearcraft is a community driven project and most of the stuff happening is based on user requests and fun experiments! Making Minecraft addons is our hobby not our work lol! We prefer to have fun with our project and don't cause any trouble! We just like to make people scared of Minecraft lol! Just for fun!

I recommend playing this addon blindly and let it take you by surprise for the best experience possible! There are some examples and tutorials on this page for if you're scared of the unknown!

Please keep in mind this addon updates "almost" daily! Fixing bugs, doing improvements and adding interesting surprises!

Install and Update Tips

Please disable the addon from any worlds prior! Make sure to delete all older versions of the addon first! Then redownload and reinstall the addon after! Don't leave any older versions behind! Check both your Minecraft storage cache and older worlds resources and behaviors for older versions to delete, before attempting a new installation! Also, always toggle all experiments on in your world for the addon to function correctly! Happy playing! Cheers! ; )

This usually applies to all my addons!

Cheers! ; )

Updated on October 3, 2025

  • Added two new Dwellers with unique AI being experimented on!
  • Some Dwellers are more desperate: they will persist in chasing when they feel like catching you (changes to scenarios where they gave up way too early).
  • Added the Goatman to the turn cycle correctly (previously accidentally excluded).
  • Some bugfixes and improvements.
  • Please help me confirm their behavior and have some mad fun with crazy entity AI!
Changelog for September 23, 2025 / Old Update
  • The cave dweller can learn to go to the surface later, when the player progresses.
  • Some entities/dwellers can learn to follow you into the Nether.
  • Random stalkers / jumpscares might occur when you least expect it.
  • Reduced the chance of random fog significantly.
  • Did some more bug fixes and optimization.
  • Please help me test this cool update!
Changelog for September 20, 2025 / Old Update
  • Big convenience update:
    • Massively improved the cycle system where Dwellers/entities take turns!
    • All surface dwellers now correctly take turns!
    • The Goatman got locked into the cycle too now!
  • Some exclusions:
    • The Cave Dweller is excluded in the cycle! He is independent!
    • Some entities/dwellers can affect the game in the background without being at turn dynamicly!
    • Some surface creatures at turn can sometimes randomly appear in caves too based on their behavior algorithms!
  • Things to know:
    • You start with a 1 day grace period (The cave dweller might spawn slightly earlier when in super deep caves early)!
    • You might hear sounds etc early (ambience)!
    • The Dwellers/Entities can still have their own progression/phases/states besides taking turns!
    • Fearcraft the Experiment is made with Vibrant Visuals in mind and might look different (slightly off) without!
  • For the future:
    • New Dwellers/Entities might join the Experiment unexpectedly at random times!
    • I'm still cooking!
    • Besides being very busy, the Experiment still evolves!

Changelog for September 14, 2025 / Old Update
  • Something highly experimental sneaked into the addon — an experimental entity is now present in the experiment build; its behavior is currently unknown and may be unstable.
  • The entity may appear in forest areas and behaves unpredictably; expect bugs and unexpected interactions.
  • Calling for brave testers: please seek out this entity, confirm its behavior, and report any findings or bugs to help improve the addon. Cheers! ; )
Changelog for August 24 / Old Update
  • Support for Minecraft version 1.21.100 and 1.21.101 was added some time ago lol (For Fearcraft the Experiment version only though)!

Changelog for January 06 / Old Update

    Brooo I can't get the Jumpscare Behaviour pack, if it's only the resource it still won't come. Also for some reason they most of them won't appear, they will be invisible when I spawn them with eggs, or is it only got natural spawn?

      Also when I spawn then they are purple

        Tip: Don't use Fearcraft Legacy above Minecraft version 1.21.80! It isn't compatible! I made Fearcraft the Experiment for versions past 1.21.90 etc! Even though it doesn't have many entities/dwellers "yet", it will probably get expanded later! Cheers!😊👨🏻‍🍳👀👻🤗😆👍😉

    It's great that Fearcraft works again, but don't you think Dwellers should have hit boxes all over their bodies, not just their legs?
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      The new dwellers will have bigger hitboxes! Some have already lol! Cheers! ; )
  4. Cuántos días demoran en aparecer los dwellers?
    Solo me han aparecido 5.
  5. Can I use some of your mods in a mod pack?
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      I prefer the people play the addons like intended lol! It depends on the structure and execution of the Modpack! It better not be a mess lmao! Cheers! ; )
      1. So no or yes? Its fine if no 😇

    mean what experimental to turn on i in order to work?
    1. não sei, eu recomendo ativar todos os experimentos pra garantir que tudo funcione corretamente.
  7. eu tenho uma pergunta, é normal que as vezes o seu mundo do nada fique totalmente coberto por neblina e depois de alguns minutos ela some?
    1. Idk what it means but it might be that the cycle is changing
  8. Is the jumpscare pack work properly??I haven't tried it yet

    I play Minecraft Education Bedrock, and most of your mods work on it, lol, but this one says the /header min_engine_version is 1.21.80, which is too high for Minecraft education, which uses 1.21.10 at max. Is there any way to fix this?
    1. DolphinMasterMB profile avatar
      DolphinMasterMB Author
      I made Fearcraft the Experiment exclusively for Minecraft versions above 1.21.80! You could if really needed to play this in education edition, manually set the minimum engine version to 1.21.10 in the two pack's manifest lol! Cheers! I kept Fearcraft Legacy available for older Minecraft Versions though! ; )

        HorrorMinecraftEnjoyer Guest
        Thank you! How do you manually change it though, or is it too complicated to explain?
  10. Can you also add separated dwellers that is inside this addon ?
  11. What does null do?👀 I haven’t seen him.😑 it said basic version, idk what that means.👻

      Similar stuff to Herobrine at the moment lol! I might get expanded! Cheers! ; )

    No se pudieras hacer de siren head o monstruos del mudo trevor hendesor en un futuro y sobre fearcraft era más emocionante cuando aparecían todos para atacar

    I tried out the experimental version today. I do like how we get the reworked dwellers/others but i have noticed some things. Not sure they're bugs but the first one is me and my friend keeps hearing goatman sound effects lol. second one is these dwellers don't spawn together. Only one of the listed spawn throughout the day like its on a random cycle. Other than these 2 I really like this and can't wait to see what else you add to this addon. This was a multiplayer world of 2 total players and currently on day 15. We seen herobrine a couple times, the one who watches twice, the knocker a few times, the man from the fog once, haven't seen null and haven't seen cave dweller. Experiments are all on in this world too and we are not using any other adoons.

      The cycle system is intended to create some tension aswell as balance for future entities/dwellers to come! About those monstrosities, Sounds "might" be teasers lol! Cheers! ; )

        Guest Jess Guest
        That's good to know those aren't bugs lol. If the sound does become a teaser of something, then my friend will be very happy since he's a huge goatman fan. Thanks for replying :D

      the Fearcraft the Experiment addon version is specifically for later Minecraft versions! It's a new work in progress Fearcraft version that should be ready for future Minecraft lol! The legacy version only works below Minecraft versions 1.21.80(maybe even a bit lower for more stability)! You only need one of these addons! Cheers! ; )
