    About

    watch.jar is an ARG-style psychological horror mod that makes Minecraft feel unpredictable and watched through distorted world generation, altered interface behavior, and sudden environmental events. Its world uses a warped version of Minecraft’s Release 1.8 generation, with landscapes such as submerged villages, missing terrain sections, and narrow, claustrophobic caves; most natural spawns are disabled. Unexpected events include dirt pillars appearing behind the player, strip mines carving through caves, and jumpscares involving animals when they are provoked, alongside a few mod-added entities with distinct behaviors. The mod may disable interface buttons, change settings such as render distance, open system applications as visual effects, and trigger scripted client crashes; these effects are local to the play session and do not transmit data. A custom version also provides commands to switch between creative and survival modes and spawn the mod’s custom entities. The experience includes flashy jumpscares and sudden visual or environmental effects, which may be unsuitable for players who are photosensitive or easily frightened.

    Written from Modrinth . How we write it

    In-game changes

    Does not change the game's code directly.

    Adds 1 block, 1 item, 1 dimension, 1 structure, 20 sounds and 1 key binding.

    Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.

    Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.

    Security

    No harmful code found

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

    The author declares on Modrinth that this mod interacts with your system outside the game.

    See the Modrinth page

    What it can do on your computer

    Uses your webcam
    It can turn on a webcam to take pictures or video.
    Uses folders outside the game
    It can read or write files outside your Minecraft folder, on the rest of your computer. Found: your user folder and your Desktop.
    Starts other programs
    It can start another program on your computer. It can run a command line, show a system notification, open a web link or a file and run a media tool.
    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. It contacts 1 web address. See Privacy
    Creates settings files
    The mod keeps its settings in the config folder of your game, where you can change or delete them. 1 file in your config folder.

    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 · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026

    Privacy

    We found nothing it sends about you

    We read its code without running it: it contacts 2 web addresses 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.

      Nothing declared about crash reports, usage data or advertisements.

    AI

    AI was used for its code and assets

    The author declares AI code and assets on Modrinth.

    We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and sounds 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.
