* DisguisedHorrorStory: While at a glance it appears to be nothing more than a VideoGameDemake for ''Minecraft'', the description reading like a second-person {{Creepypasta}} indicates there's more going on here. Play the game long enough, you'll experience some horror-themed {{random event}}s and possibly encounter a fair share of dangerous blocky entities.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: One of the screenshots of the download page is a series of trees without their leaf blocks, [[spoiler:one of the hallmark traits of Herobrine influencing the player world.]]

''MCSX - Minecraft: [=PS1=] Edition'' (also known as ''Minecraft PSX'') is a mod-pack for ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' that aims to represent the game as if it was released on the Platform/PlayStation back in 2009... with the extra addition of [[DisguisedHorrorStory some scary things that lay beneath the surface.]]

The mod-pack can be downloaded [[https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks/mcsx-minecraft-ps1-edition here.]] Note that it recommends that you also download and add [=OptiFine=] to the mod files to add the era appropriate aesthetic, which is not available by default.

!!This mod-pack provides examples of:
* AdaptationAmalgamation: This mod-pack takes the vanilla game in 1.18.2, reuses assets from the alpha/beta builds, and adds additional features from the console versions, complete with (recommended) controller support for a more authentic console experience.
* BalanceBuff:
** The 1.9 attack cool-down has been removed; you can swing your sword rapidly without any diminishing of your damage.
** Chest loot tables have better items/spawn chances for the dungeons.
** Experience gained is lost to a lesser extent upon death.
* DisguisedHorrorStory: While at a glance it appears to be nothing more than a VideoGameDemake for ''Minecraft'', the description reading like a second-person {{Creepypasta}} indicates there's more going on here. Play the game long enough, you'll experience some horror-themed {{random event}}s and possibly encounter a fair share of dangerous blocky entities.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: One of the screenshots of the download page is a series of trees without their leaf blocks, [[spoiler:one of the hallmark traits of Herobrine influencing the player world.]]
* LifeMeter: While functionally identical to vanilla, the health, [[WizardNeedsFoodBadly food]] and armor indicators is represented in this fashion in the bottom right corner instead of as a row of icons that fill or empty by halves.
* MultiDiskWork: InUniverse, the [=PS1=] game comes with three different disks to load the different dimensions, the disks being "Overworld", "[[MythologyGag The Slip]]", and "The End". [[GameplayAndStorySegregation In-game]], the process of transitioning between dimensions is just the same as vanilla ''Minecraft'' without any extra steps, since it'd be rather difficult for a mod of a PC game to emulate that function.
* MythologyGag: The Nether is referred in the mod description and some screenshot images as "The Slip", something the game's creator initially wanted to call the dimension in the oldest versions.
* {{Nerf}}:
** The mending enchantment is removed -- no more tools automatically repairing itself via experience.
** Enforced with the Elytra's travel speed being reduced, not only to balance it but to also prevent the player from seeing any loading chunks -- the reason being that [=PS1=] games would've done similar measures to account for slow loading.
** The effectiveness of armor has been reduced, [[DownplayedTrope though only to an extent that you'd still want it for safety.]]
** RegeneratingHealth is made a lot slower.
* StaticScrew: On a very rare occasion, the player's view will be taken over with static, [[{{Jumpscare}} just to catch you off guard.]]
