Extinguished

Extinguished — a survival horror overhaul built around light, sanity, and allies. Stay in safe light or the world turns against you. Expect creeping ambience, sabotage in the dark, limb injuries, and a fully featured ally system you can command and upgrade.

Core concept:

• Safe light is 8+. Below that, "dark exposure" builds and escalates threats, especially at night.
• Client has immersive visuals and audio (vignette, whispers, static, hallucinations). Server enforces gameplay.

Major features: Darkness and sanity

• Exposure rises in low light; triggers subliminal messages, static, footsteps, blackouts that require blinking, and rare apparitions (ghosts, shadow figures, a "self-watcher").
• Torches/lanterns within line-of-sight grant safety at night.
• Beds explode in the dark.
• Occasional sabotage near players in the dark: doors flick, lanterns can turn to soul lanterns, creepy signs appear.
• Night intensifies everything; some animals become hostile to "high-sanity" players; extra hostile mobs may spawn.
• World rifts: rare carved-out holes and vertical tears add danger spots.

Injuries, bleeding, and trauma:

• Limb-based injuries (sprains/breaks) from damage and hazards (e.g., standing on a stonecutter).
• Bleeding drains health and paints the area with particles until treated.
• Health cap scales down with injuries; recover by resting time, using items, or visiting a villager "medic".
• Persistence via scoreboard; cleanly resets on death.

Items and crafting:

• Glowstick: 30s Night Vision on use (stackable).
• Calming Incense: lowers your sanity meter to calm events.
• Ward Charm: recruit creatures as allies, view ally HP when aiming, upgrade allies (and used as upgrade currency).
• Clipboard: opens Ally/Army management UI from anywhere.
• Signal Whistle: pings your nearest buddy with Glowing.
• Splint/Bandage: mitigate injuries and bleeding.
• Death Map: crafted from a Map + Bone; shows an overlay of recent deaths.
• Baby Bottle of Milk: shrink to baby size and slowly grow back.
• Ground crafting: toss ingredients near each other to craft (e.g., 2 Sticks + String → 2 Splints; any Wool + String → 4 Bandages; Paper + any Logs/Planks → Clipboard).

Allies and "Army"

• Use Ward Charms to claim mobs as allies (follow/stay, never target the owner).
• Recall allies, mount one as a "backpack" defender, open an ally inventory screen.
• Assign gather jobs (wood/stone; optionally area-limited), cancel jobs, and deliver gathered items back to you.
• Ally progression: level by kill XP or spend Ward Charms; upgrades boost damage and max health. Full Army command screen with per-ally stats.
• Operate like a pet wolf for all ally members, make them stay or follow.
• Villagers can heal you if you are nearby.

Subtle world tweaks:

• Spiders and bats are smaller; adults of many animals scaled for more believable proportions.
• Poisons and growth: eating a Poisonous Potato triggers a slow, fatal "growth" curse; Baby Bottle temporarily miniaturizes you and gently returns you to normal.

Controls:

• C: Zoom
• V: Blink (clear blackouts)
• B: Breathe (manual; or choose automatic mode)
• G: Toggle stats arm HUD
• H: Injury details popout
• J: Army command screen
• K: Growth status
• O: Client settings

Commands:

• Client: /extmode automatic|manual|choose|status, /rules, /extconfig
• Server: /extprefs enable|disable (per-player), /extdev on|off|status (suppress heavy events for testing), /extadmin setgracedays <N> (progressive difficulty grace; default 2 in‑game days)

Configuration:

• Client config with granular toggles is saved to config/extinguished.json (visuals, sounds, overlays, UI prompts, grace countdown, etc.).
• Per-player opt-out via /extprefs if someone wants only visuals or no gameplay effects.

Recipes:

• Ward Charm: Amethyst Shard + Gold Nuggets + String
• Death Map: Map + Bone
• Glowstick, Calming Incense, Signal Whistle, Splint, Bandage, Clipboard, Baby Bottle — all have in-game recipes and advancements.

Requirements:

• Minecraft 1.21.1
• Fabric Loader ≥ 0.15.11 and Fabric API
• Java 21

Multiplayer:

• Works in single-player and on servers. Most mechanics are server-driven; client adds optional immersion. Safe to install client-only, but the full gameplay requires the mod on the server.
