Sanity

Spending all that time in the depths of the world and fighting the evils of the night becomes taxing on one's mind. Over time if a player doesn't take a rest or even invest some time in recreational gardening then their mind can degrade to a state of hallucinations and warped vision. At this point a player may hear or see things that aren't truly real and nobody in their vicinity can hear/see it. Even to the trained eye this can make one question what is real and what is not and could cause one bad judgement call resulting in death.

Hallucinations are not as predictable as one may think either, they can take the form of ANY mob capable of spawning around you including ones from other mods. Managing sanity is not as difficult as it seems, plants and flowers will increase the player's sanity level (only during the day however) and sleeping will add sanity based on the time slept, a full night being +100%.

Fighting or hanging around the undead will drop your sanity quicker where Endermen will cause dangerous hits to your sanity so only fight them in moderation. Near death will also cause your sanity to plummet rapidly so keep healthy if you can.

Here is a brief list of blocks that will lower your sanity:

• Skulls
• Webs
• Soul Sand

Note: The Enderdragon egg will rapidly refill your sanity so conquering Minecraft's Enderdragon will ultimately conquer your fears provided you keep that egg nearby.
