The Minecraft community has been talking about Herobrine, a well-known mythical figure, for many years. It was believed that there was a strong, mysterious being who lived in a single-player world, and yet possessed all of a player's skills, including the ability to place and break blocks.

Hence, a few modders made a unique mod called From the Fog, which introduced Herobrine to Minecraft after the mythical creature gained popularity. Herobrine and all of its lore details are added by the mod. The creature will be seen stalking players and constructing mysterious tunnels, buildings, and other structures.

The mob can also be seen underground in the caves. Players can experience unknown mineshafts that they never created. Hence, From the Fog can be considered a great cave horror mod.

2) Cave Dweller Reimagined

Cave Dweller Reimagined is an improved version of the original mod, Cave Dweller. Gargin created the original mod; however, this one, which included an additional sound effect mod, was also posted on CurseForge. As more people learned about this horrifying mod, the rebuilt mod gained more traction than the original.

This mod simply introduces a monstrous yet intelligent mob that pursues players throughout the caves. This monster has crooked teeth, a very lanky body, and white dots for eyes. In some ways, it resembles a thinner, longer enderman.

Players will continue to be stalked and gradually surrounded by the Cave Dweller. The music and sounds of the cave become louder as the beast approaches.

The Man from the Fog mod attempts to make the game much scarier. It adds a weird creature with a white eye, a horrible mouth that smiles, and a texture that is completely restored. The creature will look quite similar to the original cave dweller, since this mod is heavily inspired by Gargin's Cave Dweller mod.

The beast spawns every other night by default. Among many other tweaks, the mod setting also lets you adjust the monsters spawn rate. It initially observes the player from a distance before approaching after being ignored. When investigated, it either disappears or becomes hostile. The beast cannot be avoided; thus, players must deal with it when it spawns.

Another terrifying mod called The Mimicer introduces an infected creature that resembles Steve. After a few in-game days, players will be stalked by the mob, which will also begin chasing them if it spots them. The Mimicer has similar mechanics to that of Mojang's new creaking mob. This means that the creature runs toward players while they are not looking and vice versa.

The modder also came up with a fascinating lore about how Steve got an alien infection while he was still alive. Steve's mind and spirit were gradually overpowered by this parasite as it took over his body. Players will be able to hear the heartbreaking tale of the infected Steve's suffering when he talks in the mod.
