The best Halloween Minecraft mods

Halloween Nightmare

Minecraft has plenty of great bosses to take on, but this mod adds a special one. The Halloween Nightmare, made by abukkezsaruj, is a creepy Halloween boss that you can summon and fight for pumpkin cakes. This towering terror has a pumpkin for a head and tons of attacks.

This boss is perfect to fight on a dark night with your friends for a Halloween battle. It even has a charged state, making him much more powerful. Plus, you’ll get tons of pumpkin cakes with boosts and glow effects as a reward for your hard-fought victory. 

Lemon’s Halloween

If you’re looking for a full overhaul of Minecraft for Halloween, then Lemon’s Halloween by LemonPush is the mod for you. This mod introduces six new biomes to explore, all creepy and perfect for the season, and a whopping 54 new mobs.

The mobs are all horror or Halloween-themed, ranging from Frankenstein to Freddy Kreuger. While staples like vampires and ??? aren’t included, there are tons more that you aren’t likely to find anywhere else. You’ll even get some cool new weapons to fight them with, like a scythe. How terrifying.

Whispering Spirits

For those looking for something a little more unsettling, the Whispering Spirits mod by yourlocalgamedev is perfect. Around the world, you’ll find glowing eyes in the darkness, which will haunt you if you look at them with whispers.

While there’s no actual danger to the player with this mod, it gives a great horrific atmosphere to vanilla gameplay. Creepy eyes staring at you is already bad enough, but add in the whispers coming from everywhere, and it makes for one terrifying time. Who isn’t afraid of what’s lurking in the woods?

Halloween LuckyBlocks 

The randomized Lucky Blocks mod gives you endless possibilities when it comes to gameplay, and now with Halloween LuckyBlocks by HyCraftHD, you can enjoy it in the spookiest season.

This mod allows you to open blocks that give you anything from a witch’s broomstick to fly around on to ghosts and vampires. Not all of the blocks will reward you, as some are dangerous, so be careful. With these blocks, you can enjoy all sorts of Halloween-themed fun on your server.

Biomancy

If the concept of flesh walls unnerves you, then the Biomancy mod by Elenterius is what you need this season. This mod features all sorts of unsettling blocks that are centered around bio-punk, and it even features new mobs, armor, magic, and more.

This mod is great for starting out a new server for a creepy atmosphere, with hints of body horror all around. With flesh and gore everywhere you look, it’s altogether pretty disturbing. This makes it perfect for a new adventure during the spookiest season of the year.

Bewitchment

While witches do already exist in Minecraft, the Bewitchment mod by MoriyaShiine lets you actually become one. By crafting the Book of Shadows, you can begin your journey into witchcraft and beyond. Now witches aren’t just for you to fight.

This mod adds a great in-depth witchcraft system, including brewing potions, casting rituals, and cursing others. You can even make pacts with demons for more power. Witches are quintessential come Halloween, and this mod is full of everything you could want from them.

Reeve’s Furniture

One of the most fun aspects of Minecraft is building, and the Reeve’s Furniture mod by Yablon gives you plenty of new decorations and pieces of furniture to design with. The Halloween update is what gets it put on this list, and it gives you tons of spooky décor. 

There are cobwebs, graves, pumpkins, and more. While this mod is mainly cosmetic, it’s one of the best for players who prefer building their homes in peace. If you’re looking to build the perfect haunted house or a charming Halloween village, this mod is one you need.

Beware The Rain

Terrifying mobs are a great way to celebrate Halloween and Beware The Rain by TheBladeNinja adds four horrifying ones. You’ll come across these demons during the rainfall, hence the name. It makes this mundane weather a ton more exciting, and dangerous.

These mobs will stalk you, chase you, and kill you for getting too close. It makes your world feel much more threatening, and the designs of these mobs in particular are incredibly well done. It’s a great mod for a little more challenge and a lot more scares during Halloween.

Vampirism

The Vampirism mod by maxanier lets you turn into a vampire, and we don’t mean the sparkly kind. When you get bitten, you can drink blood from animals and villagers, become stronger and faster, and plenty more. 

However, you can also choose to become a vampire hunter and take on these classic horror icons. Both vampires and hunters have a progression system that allows them to get stronger and more powerful, and the mod even includes a new biome to explore. Perfect for spooky season.

That’s Not a Deer

This mod adds some adorable deer into the game! But they are acting very strange in the woods. They keep staring at those passing by, and why was one standing on their hind legs like a person? These deer are acting very odd, but it’s probably nothing, right?

That’s Not a Deer by CEOofAUTIZMZ adds what seems like cute deer into your world, but they aren’t what they seem. You’ll begin finding corpses of all kinds, and the deer will begin to follow you. It’s one of the best horror mods you’ll find for Minecraft, and perfect All Hallow’s Eve.
