Vile Genesis Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I know if the mod is working? Nothing scary has happened yet.
Vile Genesis Mod builds tension slowly over many in-game days before events begin—this is intentional. Check your log files for mod initialization messages, and continue playing normally; psychological events will escalate gradually as in-game time passes.
Can I disable the fake crash screens? They're too intense for me.
The mod's configuration file allows you to adjust or disable specific horror features, including fake crashes and window minimization, so you can customize your experience to a comfort level that works for you.
What happens when I get disconnected from my world?
Disconnections triggered by the mod are safe lore events that kick you to the main menu without corrupting or deleting your world—your save file remains intact and you can rejoin whenever you want.
How do I access the Workbench Dimension?
The Workbench Dimension becomes accessible as part of the mod's progression; you'll encounter it naturally as psychological events unfold, rather than through a traditional crafting recipe or portal.
Are the Host entities hostile? Can they kill me?
Host entities are part of the horror atmosphere and psychological events, but the mod is designed to frighten rather than cause gameplay failure—check the mod's documentation or your specific version's behavior for exact mechanics.
Will this mod affect my computer or files outside of Minecraft?
No—all fake crashes, system popups, and error dialogs are simulated entirely within the game and do not touch your actual computer files, system settings, or anything outside Minecraft.
Does Vile Genesis work with other mods?
The mod is generally compatible with most survival-focused mods, but heavily scripted mods or those that heavily modify world generation may conflict; test with a backup world if you're unsure.
Can I turn off the window minimization feature?
Yes—the mod's configuration options let you disable the window minimization mechanic if you find it disruptive, while keeping other horror elements active.
What's the difference between the Workbench Dimension and the Hollow Dimension?
Both are surreal extra dimensions introduced by the mod with distinct unsettling atmospheres; the Workbench Dimension features crafting table structures, while the Hollow Dimension has its own unique visual and environmental design.
Do I need to do anything special to prepare for horror events, or does it just happen?
The mod unfolds automatically as you play—you don't need to trigger events manually, though documenting encounters with Host entities and exploring the surreal dimensions will deepen your understanding of the lore.
