    About

    Brutal Nightmare is a configurable difficulty mod that makes hostile encounters more challenging by improving mob behavior and adding new abilities, while allowing players to toggle its features through an in-game menu. Hostile mobs detect and pursue players from farther away and move faster; jockeys appear more often, some mobs can turn transparent, and passive animals such as cows, chickens, and sheep fight back when attacked. Zombies and husks can build or break blocks to reach targets, throw TNT, and use items such as ender pearls or flint and steel, while skeletons can rain arrows down and switch between bows and swords depending on distance. Creepers may appear powered or disguised as farm animals, can explode through walls, and can shoot snowballs; spiders shoot webs, while Endermen can curse or teleport targets and summon a Nightmare Enderman to attack the cursed player. Other threats include drowned that pull or curse players toward the ocean, blazes that split when killed and can appear in the Overworld, parasitic silverfish, falling or fire-immune phantoms, slime that shoot slimeballs, ghasts that fire multiple projectiles, and randomly appearing illusioners. The mod also adds mini-boss encounters: a Master Witch can emerge and cast spells, while the Nightmare Vindicator appears as a statue that animates when players move nearby and can be frozen again by looking at its eyes or placing a torch beneath it. Additional changes include hostile mobs pursuing players across the ocean in boats, more frequent zombie and husk spawns, and a rule that prevents beds from skipping the night.

    Security

    No harmful code found

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. Only in its files for Paper 1.16 to 26.3. See Privacy

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · All 4 latest files checked, last on 18 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      4 latest files: the newest file for each Minecraft version and loader. The answer above is about the 3 for recent versions. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.

      Nothing declared about your system outside the game.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, the webcam or microphone, an AI service.
    • Modrinth and CurseForgeA release with a different file on Modrinth and on CurseForge, whose code is not the same. Each file is checked on its own. Nothing is blocked.

      code differs in 1 release

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends about you

    We read its code without running it: it contacts 1 web address while you play.

    Like any connection, each address it contacts sees your IP address.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · All 3 files read
    • Files readWe read the code without running it. We list each web address the code contacts while you play, and what it sends. Code that is never used is left out.
      The code of all 3 files, for recent Minecraft versions. See each file in Releases
    • cdn.modrinth.com
      Downloads new versions of the mod.
    • Author on ModrinthThe disclosure form on Modrinth, where the author declares crash reports, usage data and advertisements. Since 13 Aug 2026, Modrinth's rules require it when a project collects data on its users or shows advertisements.
      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    No sign that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.

    How we checked · 6 places read
