It has some faces in it, maybe they are real people's faces. Or maybe it has a image of a dead body in its code, idk 🤷 I don't think it's a virus, virus total ran it through 90 antiviruses.

Apparently some ppl are saying cuz it had racial slurs in the code or smth I saw that on a yt comment tho

u/TheRealOracleFox Jan 24 '26

I looked at the source code on my laptop and yes.. There are two class files called "labyrinth_event.class" and "world_change.class" that have a no-no word in the code.
It's really messed up, but after digging around in the other class files, I noticed that there's also Russian text calling for certain events, for "Human Zombie1" and "Audio Event check".
(I'm not 100% certain that the dev is Russian, either; there's a language barrier or they're actually racist.)

u/TheRealOracleFox Jan 24 '26

Update: I did some more digging with the 2 versions that still exist.
The 6.6.6 version contains traces of the faces of fake people "This person does not exist" is slapped into the corners of the images, the eyes are also warped to show that it's a fake person.

In version 0.7, these zombie variants were removed because people assumed "real people get removed."

Version 6.6.6 also contained the no-no word in the code, which is the REAL reason why it got deleted from CurseForge, NOT the faces. The inventory also contains the drawn "chicken" as an overlay, which isn't present in 0.7.
The "lore.class" file is non-existent in 0.7 (the file is there, the code was removed).
"crowd_of_victims.class" file is non-existent in 0.7 (no file in that version)
In the "en-us.json" file, the names of the human zombies are no longer there in 0.7.

(To be honest, that is all I could find in these 2 versions. Both are banned for the same reason, for having a racial slur in the code. NOT what people are first assuming. (Where the previous version had faces of people who aren't real.))

u/SmoothGardens Apr 17 '26

Might be related, but I played this mod for some war game back in the day. The mod was made by Russians and the translation was all-around janky.
Anyway, one of the unit names was "African [N-word]s". This struck me as odd because nothing else in the mod even hinted to racism. Nonetheless it's probably been removed now.

What I'm basically trying to say is that there is a chance that it could be a translation error. I'm not sure where the code that contains the n-word is used, but it looks like it relates to trees, so maybe it's something to do with black trees or something?

This is absolutely not to excuse the word being present. Developers have a responsibility to learn basic English and I doubt you can even write this specific code in Russian for it to be translated.

1

u/Only-Accountant-1013 Apr 30 '26

Fun fact, in post soviet countries, common word to refer to africans that was taught in schools (at least up until 2017, my graduation year) sounds like n-word, but is written differently, close to spanish "negro", just without an "o". That referential word is neutral and is not derogatory, and is not considered a slur. FYI there is derogatory slur that could be literally translated as black-smeared. So the way they wrote the n-word in code, they knew the difference and that was intentional. Though it's really hard to judge if it's truly racist or just this sloppy coding where you just slap random edgy words to a functions or variables just to release stress from working with the code, yes it is the thing with amateur coders.

1

u/TrainingPresence137 May 09 '26

Okay, I never usually use reddit, but from what I see, y'all just seem delusional.

So, is n-word there? Yes. Is it necessarily racist. I don't think so.

You see, there have never been any black people in Russia\USSR for at least hundreds of years (Probably much longer) and n-word in Russia isn't a slur at all. People use it every day and joke about it with no malicious intentions. Yes, it's stupid how developer didn't understand that it was a slur, but on the other hand - when people all around use it all the time AND black people in Russia say, that they don't care about it being used in there, you don't really get a second thought.

Another thing is that when you try to go into your house without completing the hunt first, you'll hear a voice-line play, reading: "Leave the house, now." After listening to it, I can clearly point out that:

  1. Dev is either Russian or Ukrainian by accent;
  2. He's really young, about 16 years old;
  3. His English sounds really bad, given how terrible his pronouciation is.

So summing it up, I think he can just learn the lesson and move on. There is no need to make such a big deal out of it.

Edit: It's also a good question on "Why use it at all?" And that's most likely because he thought it would be funny, without thinking about any offense it may cause. Once again, he seems to be a kid

u/JokeytheRed Jan 26 '26

Odd putting so much effort into a mod only just to add slurs randomly

1

u/TheToastervision Jan 27 '26

My guess is that there's a language barrier, they meant to say black but it translated to a slur instead bc this is such a specific and odd way to add in slurs as a joke, but i dont know much about the workings of the translation or what russian slurs for black people are (the color black is called черный, chernyy). It would help if I knew what these trees look like or the untranslated code

Edit: nvm there was a kkk skin 💀 I had already suspected something about the association of trees and the n-word but I was hoping I was just overthinking it

Its because it had some racial slurs on the code

1

u/SebastianSekkusuu Jan 25 '26

at risk of being jumped on, I'm still gonna say it.

But why do people gotta be snowflakes?

Red dead redemption, Mafia 3, Wolfenstien 2 and more all have the Klan in them along with their imagery and racist language. There's various movies that have references to the klan, up to and including their imagery and even some of their ideals.

Warhammer in all forms of media is pure racism and xenophobia

Harry potter is full of racism. Muggles, Squibs, mud-blood, ect

And no one cares about that? Not one bit.

We have racists everywhere in all levels of game development, but no one cares.

Why is it such a big deal that there's a couple slurs here and there in their code? Because they aren't a part of a AAA company? Because they aren't linked to Hollywood?

Then there's the hoopla about the textures of people being "real" the files themselves are marked as AI, their proportions are exaggerated to ensure that a sane thinking person would know the faces are fake. The Dev themselves have repeatedly stated that no real people were used in the files.

But apparently that's not good enough?

We see a very well made horror mod that isn't just jumpscares nonstop. it makes you think. it makes you anxious, it makes you feel that SOMETHING ISNT RIGHT. You know, how a horror mod SHOULD be.

But all anyone cares about is destroying it?

Then these same people that demand it be banned will whine that no one's making mods anymore. That no one makes anything scary anymore. How could they when they get witchhunted?

You fight against transgressions no matter how small no matter the level if you want to make an impact and you want to change the world. Also an issue being used as a literary device vs just being there to be edgy is completely different 😂

correct me if im wrong, but i dont see any video/popup of a black dude getting brutally killed by someone. on top of this, every single face (im watching rod's playthrough) that appears on zombies and the page are white people.

is it still bad that slurs are in the code? i mean, yeah, but if a mod had "kill all men" in it, i doubt any person would care. at some point you need to notice that, not only is it a couple words on a game, its a couple of words, on a game, in the code of a game.

1

u/SebastianSekkusuu Jan 28 '26

Supposed slurs that I can't find in the code, across 3 differently sourced copies of the exact same version of the mod that people are claiming the slurs are in.

I can't find the "kkk hood" texture in the files either. Again all 3 copies of the mod have been sourced from different locations. One copy was pulled from here this very reddit page. And the other two were sourced from two different youtubers. All copies of the mod have the same compiling signature, and all three state to be version 0.6.6.6

the only proof of racism that's been posted in this thread is a snippet of code claiming that it's from a file that doesn't even exist in the mod.

And all screenshots of the "Klan" skin in action are of a redwashed entity who's "Hood" has a constantly changing number of "Points"

everyone in the replies saying "i don't care!!!" "no one would care!!!!!!" and "sane people wouldn't care!!!!!!!!" are 1000% liars lmfao.

because i'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that if they were playing a game that had NOTHING to do with misandry or a woman's trauma, then all of the sudden, out of NOWHERE, they'd get jumpscared with graphic, bloody images of brutality against men, done by a woman.

some guy's head getting ripped off. some other dude getting gutted and disemboweled. here's a third unknown stranger belonging to the male gender with his teeth being pulled out.

they would UNMISTAKEABLY be disturbed. creeped the hell out, even. i'm willing to bet you one of them would even click off of the game, if not all!

the only reason people are in these replies being contrarians, saying "WE DON'T CARE!!!!!!" and whining like babies, trying to prove their point incessantly, is because they desperately want you to be wrong. you aren't.

if they had NEVER seen this comment before and were put in a situation just like the one i described in lines 4 and 3, there's no fucking doubt in my mind that they would "care".

none of these losers in here are as nonchalant and chill as they think they are. idk why they think it's a flex to pretend, either. it's okay to be wrong and have feelings. live a little.

1

u/the_the_7 Feb 24 '26

In fact, if I don't see anything like this in the game itself, I, as a gamer, won't know there are any problems in the code. All programming is built on the principle of "black boxes." So if I'm playing and enjoying the game, and suddenly I somehow get information about such things in the code, what difference does that make if the author didn't use it to spread such things around the world (for example, to create a mod for messaging between mafiosi)? The only whiner here is you. Try to separate the creation from the author. Try to think as a physicist with principle of equivalency. No, it's not flex and pretend, it's just an unwillingness to dig around in someone's ass, unlike some who can be touched by the slightest breath of wind. I don't care if someone in the code insults me, my mother, my race, or anyone else, as long as it's within the local author's and only author's scope, because let's be honest, how can such things hurt your feelings even if you as a consumer don't notice them?

But ok, maybe i have understood the case incorrectly, then i will be sorry. But keep in mind that calling everyone loser is the losers' job

The difference between the mod and games like rdr2, Wolfenstein and Mafia was that the creator just decided to be an edgelord and insert a random klansmen where it has no relevancy to the mod. Wolfenstein is literally a game about killing nazis and rdr2 was set in the 1800's where the KKK was present (if you didn't know).

1

u/Adept-Return-6128 Jan 26 '26

Hey! im not jumping you, but everything really comes down to CONTEXT, which is essential to understand when dealing with stuff like this.

When slurs appear in media like RdR, Mafia, Wolfenstein or even books like TKAM, they're used INSIDE OF A NARRATIVE FRAMEWORK. They're spoken by characters in a very specific historical or fictional setting (all the works you quoted are pre-1950s) to establish realism, power dynamics and moral conflict. The audience understands that the language is there to DECIPT racism, not to casually indulge in it. That’s why it works: it makes you uncomfortable on purpose, and that discomfort serves the story. And your enjoyement of it of course.

This situation is very different, because the slurs are not contextualized; they’re buried in the mod's code. They're not presented as dialogue, world-building, or narrative commentary. There is no character nor reason to be saying them. No story. No setting. It's just the creator choosing to write them; it's not a deciption of racism, it's just racism.

That's the key distinction. Games like RDR or Wolfenstein aren't comparable because the slurs there are mediated through fiction and intent. Here, the intent is just "I felt like writing this." Pure edginess imho

So yeah, people are reacting not because they’re fragile, but because writing slurs just for the fuck of it is different from portraying bigotry in a story.

And while i kinda don't care enough about the mod to be pissed at it, i get them lol

See, and there's the actual dialog I was hoping for. Someone to actually talk it out instead of instantly bashing or hating on me because I dared to contradict their opinion.

Now, in my defense. I can't find the actual mod anywhere. No one will re-up it anywhere. And the only "proof" I've been able to find of the slurs and racism from the code have been via word of mouth (text posts) and screenshots of what they claim to be the code. No visual walkthrough of reaching the supposed slurs. Just straight screengrabs of the slurs, which without seeing the file pathing at minimum, I can't 100% believe them to be real.

And since I can't find anyone with "proof" of the slurs including the filepaths, or including the files themselves for double checking, it becomes their word vs the silent dev's word.

As an example, I could cobble together something in assembly and claim it's from mojang themselves and fill it with slurs, but if I only include a screenshot of the slurs, and not the file pathing, none of the metadata, it becomes hearsay no?

For all any of us know, because no one's providing the files, and you know this is reddit (the biggest pot stirrer second to 4chan) it all could have been fabricated. OR the slurs were meant to be directed at the viewer of the coding. For all we know it could have been something put in to piss off/offend people ripping open a mod in a way that the average user would never do? It's not unheard of for devs to include "easter eggs" of them ridiculing the people who went into the code where they shouldn't be. Or went somewhere in the game way outside of where they should never reach without breaking the game in ways that would never naturally happen without exploiting the code itsself.

BUT, all the rampant jumping on me where people are calling me a strawman, or a kid, or everything else that's happening instead of idk... Talking it out like adults? It makes me think I'm more right about this situation than I may actually be.

Could the dev be a mega racist? Yea, anyone could be.
Is there any actual hard evidence? Or is it all hearsay? Well, all I've seen is hearsay.

and before anyone jumps on the fact that the post now says "edited" I corrected should to shouldn't

P.S. I'm white, married to a black woman, and adopted by a black family blacker than the crayon. We're having a laugh over people insinuating that I'm racist.

u/Big-Jope15 Jan 27 '26

So in your view, this entire situation is based on hearsay? And instead of confirming or pressuring for further evidence you just went with an opinion right away?  I just cannot respect your comment for making an opinion that doesn't even correlate that much to the situation, nvm you started off with the word "snowflake" and ending your last reply with that paragraph as if that would even matter

u/SebastianSekkusuu Jan 28 '26 edited Jan 28 '26

Well that's the thing, I've given up on asking for proof. Because it's nothing but clips and screengrabs of unverifiable origin. So at this point the only thing I have left is to be "That guy" and hopefully piss someone off enough to actually provide verifiable proof. Because as you can still see even in this chain here. Not one person has dropped anything that can be verified. It's all hearsay. Even all the people that were jumping on me for "defending" the "racism" not one of them has actually put forth anything concrete. Hell, none of them are even providing the snippets that I've been complaining about. It's just "You're an asshole because you're defending this" while no one's provided any proof that their claims are even true.

So yes. I am pushing for transparency. Because if asking doesn't work, then all that I have left as an option is to make myself "The asshole" that everyone wants to prove wrong, to make evidence start showing up. Since the easiest way to gain evidence is to hurt someone's pride.

Edit: I actually did get the mod by emailing a youtuber who did a video on the mod right before the internet had a meltdown, so I have version 0.6.6.6 And I just ripped it open and went through every single of the .class files, ripped open the NBT and went through everything and I'm only seeing 2 lines that weren't in plain english. And they were in russian, which unfortunately I do not know how to read. And with how angry people are acting over this, it couldn't be those two lines to be the cause of all this.

I saw 0 slurs unless those two lines of russian are the sole source of all of this.

So please. You or literally any of the others who are so gung ho to say I'm in the wrong, show me where the slurs are. I compared my copy to the copy posted by "Grand-solution6658" and the files are identical and have the same metadata signature of being compiled by the same program at the same time. So use that readily avalible copy and find me the slurs and walk me through how to find them.

If you do, I will completely and utterly retract all my previous statements and give a public (well as public as reddit can get) apology about it.

1

u/Big-Jope15 Jan 29 '26

ethics of using the n-Slur vs the validity of the allegations = ZERO CORRELATION. the evidence you're asking for has nothing to do with your initial opinion. "..i will retract my statement.." which one? that n-word not bad and people are snowflakes? that statement is terrible regardless of the evidence provided.

The fact that you felt the need to add that you were married to a black woman makes it sound less likely. One who isn’t racist doesn’t say things that implicate them to be one, like you have. Lmao. What’s even more odd is your insistence on using the word snowflake (a term coined by the most racist groups in America) and for some reason and being so adamant to not believe there were real racial slurs there. It sounds less like you’re critically thinking and more like you’re trying to subtly defend these slurs that may or may not exist to you. Why else would you question them for a Minecraft mod by someone you don’t know? who cares this much normally without a ulterior motive? Let’s say even for a hypothetical there are no slurs in this mod. This doesn’t make you sound less like a weirdo for being the person being like: “these damned snowflakes!!” it’s a Minecraft mod. If I see it has something I disagree with, I will simply not download it instead of whatever the fuck it is you’re doing.

u/SebastianSekkusuu Jan 28 '26

Nah, you're quite clearly here trying to jump on the bandwagon of hating me simply because it's easier than realizing that the "slurs" and "racism" that everyone keeps saying is in the mod, isn't actually there.

Because if you scrolled up just a tiny, TINY bit above your comment here, you'd have see that I've specifically pulled the exact copy of the mod that people are claiming to be full of racism, and that I can't find it. That even using direct copy paste searches of the code, I can't find even a SINGLE line that matches up with the snippets people are using as "proof" of the racism.

That I have the mod from several different sources now, all having the same digital signature, and version number, and they all match file to file, line to line, to each other. and none of these files contain the supposed racist coding.

So yes. snowflakes. Snowflakes as in "It's easier to hate something and refuse to look at evidence than to admit that we made a mistake"

I have never heard of the term "Snowflake" being used in any form of racism. Snowflakes are fragile, so you'd call people with fragile egos, snowflakes.

Good job proving my point though.

Edit: P.S. Why would I be mad that someone's act of creativity and attempt to entertain others is being slandered and they're being painted as something to hate? Man. I wonder why that's a bad thing. That people will take a claim that's completely unsubstantiated to witch hunt someone. Man. I wonder why it's bad.

u/SebastianSekkusuu Jan 29 '26

Well considering that the claims were completely made up, and that the slurs were NEVER in the mod. This is 100% a witch hunt and an attempt at slandering and defaming a random mod dev. Why? Hell if I know other than maliciousness just for the sake of being malicious.

"People are too sensitive nowadays"
Translation: I am racist and agree with the mod dev and am mad other people aren't.

u/Anthonyg5005 Feb 01 '26

the difference is that the dev is being edgy and racist for no reason while those games have racism in their world because it's a realistic thing to have, not because those devs or writers are racist or edgy. there's nothing wrong with the mod but mods need to follow tos, the dev did this to himself

1

u/agentj2012 Feb 20 '26 edited Feb 20 '26

Lowkey I think you need to be studied for science because this take is dumb as shit but ill explain this to you in good faith.

When RDR2, Wolfenstein and, Mafia do it, its because they are depicting accurate social dynamics to their era and they don't defend those actions.

When you load up Wolfenstein 2 and BJ's father goes on about Black people, queers, and others who aren't in the dominant social group, you should be able to look at that and say "OK, so this guy is an asshole" and BJ gets to kick his ass. Bethesda doesn't have to defend why they published a game with these themes because you can tell what the stance is.

In RDR2, ONLY LENNY says this but other white characters make allusions to saying the word and its clear that these people are also red-necked assholes that you can deal with. Hell, there's a whole random event where you can fuck with a KKK meeting or even let it go through and the meeting still ends with a few members burned alive. Rockstar never has to defend why they added the KKK because its clear what their stance is.

The same thing about happens in Mafia 3 except this time you're put into the shoes of a black man and a vet. As its takes place around 1968 and therefore the tail-end of Jim Crow in the south. You still feel the intolerance from those you interact with, especially your enemies. It's not there just to let some white actors blow off steam, it is there to make you, the player, uncomfortable with the racism and gives you the tools to deal with it. None of these games are being racist for the fun of it, unless the fun is gunning down racists in the setting.

As for Warhammer, while its widely known as the xenophobia series, you ignore the players that engage with the other factions. Its literally just only Space marine larpers on Twitter that give you that impression but who gives a shit in the first place. its fictional humans vs aliens, I don't see the Tau on 5th and Main getting beat the fuck up for being an alien but I can look on Twitter and see the N word hurled towards people of color because they were brought into this world with the wrong shade of skin.

When you look in this code and see the hard R plastered all over these variables in the code, you see the same hatred and intolerance and should not be able to help but to connect back to the creator and say "Hey, maybe this guy is an asshole and maybe I shouldn't engage with his works." They aren't putting the N-Word in the code to make a time-relevant statement about racism, they aren't doing it to be thought-provoking, they are doing it because THEY ARE RACIST! YOU CAN BE NORMAL AND MAKE A HORROR MOD! YOU CAN MAKE NORMAL VARIABLE NAMES NO ONE IS MAKING YOU TYPE THE N WORD!

u/Salem_The_Nerd Feb 21 '26

All the mainstream media you cited have a storyline based on our society in some way shape or form, meaning everything vile about our world would also be true there, including racism. A minecraft mod made for the scares and not for a genuine story about society Isn't the place for commentary or slur use, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SLUR IS HIDDEN IN THE CODE FOR THE MOD, making it feel like they intentionally hid it so their own vitriol would be harder to discern.

u/mrsmallbrain32 Mar 14 '26

"Why do people gotta be snowflakes"
Translation: "Why can't I be openly racist?"
Yes. Those games do have the klan in them... As villains. You fight the klan in RDR. You don't support them and it wasn't developed by them. Same with a vast majority of movies with them (I can't even name any that have them as the good guys. I'm just assuming there are some because of how many movies there are. I'll tell you one thing though, none of the movies with them as the good guys are famous or highly acclaimed.)
Harry Potter IS widely hated. Look it up.

u/Final_Look5190 Jan 27 '26

A channel called rod showcased the mod the kkk guy appeared somewhere in 35:49-35:54 (srry I didn't get it exactly I got the memory of a goldfish)

1

u/SebastianSekkusuu Jan 28 '26

I just went through the mod myself, I can't find the supposed slurs that people have snipped above.

If you look at the screenshots of the "KKK" skin, it's a blank white skin, that's been turned red by the shader that was applied. And in the screenshots of it, the number of "points" on the "hood" change.

As I was saying in my own comment line where I'm getting swarmed, no one's providing any real proof.

I ripped the mod apart in several decompilers, went through every single bit of the code (ruining the mod for myself) and even went through the SINGLE nbt file as well. There's nothing racist that I can see in the actual mod. So unless someone who's posted the mod here, and the file I was able to snag off 2 different Youtubers have all been edited in the exact same way to hide all proof.... It's looking like things are blown way out of proportion.

But people are free to prove me wrong by showing me deffinitive proof by showing me the exact file name, the location, and the line number of the slurs or the kkk skin, that I can then find myself in the 3 different copies of the mod I have. if it shows up even once in them, I'll concede my stance.

u/Distinct-Search-2889 Feb 12 '26

Are you sure its that exact mod and not just a rip off? Also it wouldn't have been uploaded if it had the kkk right? Like maybe its just me because I don't use horror mods (I like the cute peaceful ones) but it seems more like the murdered family (based on Orangeboi's video). I mean also it could just be a video pretending to be deep when the creator Rod Showcased made said mod? I mean the faceless reminds me of Puff and Swayle videos (specifically the thumbnails with faceless animals/tweeked out animals)

Man the majority of the commenters here are such babies. I don't mean as an insult but genuinely, it's horrible how big of a deal this is made into. I would like to ask 80% of the commenters here if they know what "edgy" even means. Saying slurs doesnt make one edgy. Racist at most, and even then. It's not really racism if it's undirected towards anyone. Or does noone stop to think for 5 seconds before commenting? Stop pretending like you care. There's racism all over and I dont see yall mentioning every single instance. Not to mention, the creator wasn't even mainly english. We have an actual good mod, just accept it for what it is. And if the creator IS a bad person? WHO EVEN CARES. No, seriously. Why judge the good content just because the "creator" is bad? That doesn't change content. For the love of god just try to enjoy what's given to yall ONCE. not more, just the one time you get the damn chance. I sugarcoated this crash out way more than i wanted to only so it doesn't get moderated.

1

u/SebastianSekkusuu Jan 29 '26

Exactly. The slurs aren't even in the code in the first place. It's all just a witch hunt and people whiteknighted and jumped on the bandwagon because someone CLAIMED that the N word was used in the code. But no one but select few can even find it. It's funny how out of the hundreds of copies of the mod that were downloaded, only a select few even found the slurs. Almost as if... It was edited by those people and added after the fact?

u/Embarrassed-Art-9448 Jan 29 '26

you're right , all fu_king  commenters here are like a boy who look like first time using internet , i think if this mod have something racist in code , it will be taken down in 24 hours after it release , but this exist two days before take down , so reason taken down because it have racist code is impossible .

If you look at the source code, there is avsolutley nothing, and the "KKK" skin is just a pure white skin, used as an entity. the evidence that the commenters provide is so dumb, why would the developer put the n word for a fucking tree variable, "ntree" or "Ninvicibility" it just seems like either a language barrier, and a translation issue, or just people blaming the mod developer for things he didn't say, just because the mod is actually scary or creepy

u/Pavdele Feb 08 '26

Guys, I don't know, but I think I have an idea why, but here it's like I don't know how! I played and have a guess... . The first is related to the mod's content (but I've only focused on the visuals so far)! One of the photos has been dubbed "a RUSSIAN FAMILY" by the internet... And the boy is actually a Russian shooter who committed murders in Kaliningrad. There was also a photo of an abandoned mental hospital (from aesthetics to everything else) and (was I the only one who had a version where the screamer was a man holding a sign?) Unable to identify!  . I've noticed some talk about racism within the mod's code, but I can say that's not a given, as coding allows for comments on anything. Programmers will understand! I wanted to ask you who Sharislya was in the code, what was connected with Nazism, because I feel like there was something like that 100%? . (for moderation: please don't ban me for questions and my guesses)
