https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/ Guides to Araz, a Fabric horror mod for Minecraft that learns from how you play: how it works, installing it, surviving it and what each release changed. en Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/how-to-survive-araz/ https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/how-to-survive-araz/ Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Araz is a Fabric horror mod for Minecraft 26.3, 26.1.2, 1.21.10 and 1.20.1. During a hunt you can run, stare it down, or crouch still in the dark for three seconds to hide. Part I ends when you read five Corrupted Records, forge The Last Line at the Altar of Araz and use it to kill the creature. https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/how-to-install-araz/ https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/how-to-install-araz/ Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Araz is a Fabric-only horror mod for Minecraft 26.3, 26.1.2, 1.21.10 and 1.20.1. To install it, run the Fabric loader installer for your exact Minecraft version, then drop three jars into the mods folder: Fabric API, GeckoLib and Araz 1.0.0-beta.2. On a server the mod goes on the server and on every client. https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/how-the-learning-ai-works/ https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/how-the-learning-ai-works/ Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Araz is a Minecraft horror mod for Fabric where the creature starts with no special abilities and unlocks them by watching the player. Opening a door four times teaches it to break doors. Sleeping three times teaches it possession. Every observation, plus how familiar it is with you, is saved with the world. The AI is scripted, not machine learning. https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/best-minecraft-horror-mods/ https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/best-minecraft-horror-mods/ Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 The best Minecraft horror mods in 2026 are From The Fog, the Cave Dweller family, The Man From The Fog, Mimicked, The Stalker Horror and Araz. I made Araz, so treat that entry as a description, not a review. Each one is built around a single mechanic: environmental haunting, cave ambush, eye contact, voice mimicry, adaptive chase, or observational learning. Only some of them run on Fabric. https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/araz-vs-cave-dweller-vs-from-the-fog/ https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/araz-vs-cave-dweller-vs-from-the-fog/ Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Araz, Cave Dweller and The Man From The Fog are Minecraft stalker horror mods. Cave Dweller ambushes you underground in unlit caves, and The Man From The Fog stalks you at night and reacts to eye contact. Both react to you in the moment. Araz learns from what you do, unlocks abilities from those habits, and saves that memory in the world file, so it stays learned after you quit. https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/araz-beta-2-release-notes/ https://spicesfire.com/araz/blog/araz-beta-2-release-notes/ Tue, 22 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Araz 1.0.0-beta.2 is the current release of Araz (The Anomaly), a Fabric horror mod for Minecraft 26.3, 26.1.2, 1.21.10 and 1.20.1. It cuts how often the creature appears to one shared cooldown with four minutes of silence, and adds record signs, an Observation Log, hiding, a silence ritual and an in-game settings screen.
