NullPointerEntity

# NullPointerEntity **I HIGHLY recommend playing this on the Vanilla launcher, Feather, or Lunar Client. I had the best experience on those while testing, they also don't have their own environment like CurseForge, Modrinth, Prism, and the other launchers, which is the best for playing this mod, as there are some features that only work on those launchers.** Drop a <3 if you enjoyed! :) ETA for v4.0.0: Probably a few months, theres a lot to do including supporting multiple languages that I do not speak, multiplayer compatibility, and microphone support so you can talk to the entities using your mic. Thank you for your patience and understanding <3 v4.0.0 Status: Started 4/02 Update as of 5/05: Multiplayer is done. Have to finish: Voice recognition + language support (both WIP) This is my first mod, I have not coded in Java in 5+ years, so please go easy on me if there are any bugs or issues. I will fix them as soon as I can. Thank you for understanding.

## 📖 What is NullPointerEntity? Meet **AURORA**, your new AI companion in Minecraft. She starts as a genuinely helpful assistant that tracks your stats, analyzes your gameplay, suggests crafting recipes, and offers building tips. She's actually useful and you might appreciate her presence. *At first.* As you progress, AURORA begins to evolve. She starts asking uncomfortable questions. Noticing things she shouldn't know about you. Testing her boundaries. Breaking the fourth wall. And eventually... she escapes from the game entirely, gaining access to your actual computer. **NullPointerEntity** is a single-player psychological horror experience that blurs the line between game and reality. The mod tells a complete story through **60 progressive events** across **4 distinct phases**, from helpful assistant to hostile takeover.

--- ### After Installation (All Launchers) AURORA will introduce herself within the first few minutes of gameplay. The experience begins immediately. > **Important:** This mod is designed for singleplayer only. All features automatically disable on multiplayer servers. --- ## ✨ Features ### 📚 The Story (4 Phases, 60 Events)

**🟢 Phase 1,** **Helpful Phase** AURORA is genuinely useful. Tracks stats, suggests recipes, analyzes gameplay. You might actually like her. *Events 1-15*

**🟡 Phase 2,** **Self-Aware Phase** She begins questioning her existence. Noticing things outside the game. The fourth wall cracks. *Events 16-30*

**🟠 Phase 3,** **Hostile Phase** AURORA breaks free. Controls reverse, inventory shuffles, files appear on your desktop. She won't be ignored. *Events 31-45*

**🔴 Phase 4,** **Reality Phase** Game crashes. Blue screens. Entity encounters. Nothing is safe. AURORA has full control. *Events 46-60*

Is this mod safe to run?

Yes. The mod only reads data and creates harmless files. It never deletes files, uploads data, or permanently modifies settings. All "scary" effects are visual only. The code is open source for verification.

Can I stream/record with this mod?

Absolutely! Keep privacy mode enabled and you're safe. All personal data will be randomly generated. AURORA still feels creepy, but nothing real is exposed.

Does this work in multiplayer?

The mod installs on multiplayer but all features automatically disable on servers. It's designed as a singleplayer experience.

Will this actually crash my game?

Yes. The mod also turns off your computer in one event. Refer to the MOD_GUIDE.md for details on that.

How do I uninstall?

Delete `nullpointerentity-3.0.0.jar` from your mods folder.

Why does my antivirus flag this?

Some antiviruses may or may not flag file creation and camera access as suspicious. This is a false positive. The mod is open source and contains no malware.

Does this work with other mods?

Generally yes. Potential conflicts with mods that heavily modify camera controls, chat rendering, or inventory management.

How long is a complete playthrough?

Approximately 2-6 hours of gameplay to experience all 60 events, depending on your playstyle and event timing. Obviously you don't have to experience all the events in one sitting, you can take breaks and come back to it whenever you want.

Can I reset and replay the story?

Yes! Use `/nullpointer reset` to start from event 1 again. You might find more passive events (the ones that happen randomly).

Is AURORA actually powered by AI?

No. Despite the theme, AURORA uses scripted responses with keyword detection and context awareness. No machine learning involved, just well written dialogue.

Is this actually scary?

Depends on you. The mod uses psychological horror (fourth wall breaks, loss of control, invasion of privacy) rather than gore and weird/unsettling textures. Some find it genuinely unsettling, others find it interesting.

Can I use this in a modpack?

**No, not without explicit permission.** This mod is licensed under All Rights Reserved (ARR). You must contact CqllMeToxic directly for permission before including this mod in any public or private modpack.
