'''Fear''' is a [[Minecraft:Effect|mob effect]] that causes [[Minecraft:Mob|mobs]] to flee their targets and desaturates the player's vision.

== Effect ==
[[File:Scorchful Fear effect.gif|thumb|Fear applies a [[Minecraft:Shader#Post-processing effects|shader effect]] that desaturates the player's vision and has a unique Bat particle.]]

=== Mobs ===
When applied to a path aware mob, Fear causes that mob to flee and entities that it is currently targeting. For example, [[Minecraft:Zombie|Zombies]] will flee from [[Minecraft:Villager|Villagers]] instead of hunting them down. This may cause the mob to lose track of their target and can be a good way of defending an area.

=== Players ===
When applied to the [[Minecraft:Player|player]], Fear desaturates and darkens the screen. It also makes the player much more visible to hostile mobs, extending their detection range by 2 times and making the player visible to mobs through walls.

When a player is given fear for the first time, they will be given the [[Minecraft:Advancement|advancement]] "The Mind Killer". This is a reference to the Litany Against Fear from the novel [[Wikipedia:Dune (novel)|Dune]].

=== Shader Files ===

The shader effect definition uses post processing shaders to create the visual effects. These effects can be configured by [[Minecraft:Resource Packs|resource packs]]. See [[Minecraft:Shader]] for a full description of the file formats. The following files contain the primary definitions relating to the effect:

* '''assets/scorchful/post_effect/fear.json''': Defines the pass programs for the shader effect. Replace the program values with {{code|minecraft:blit}} to disable the desaturation effect.
* '''assets/scorchful/shaders/post/fear_color_convolve.json''': Defines the variables (uniforms) used in the shader. You can use these to configure the strength of the effect desaturation and darkening effects.
* '''assets/scorchful/shaders/post/color_convolve_hsv.fsh''': The fragment shader code for the effect. These are written in [[Wikipedia:OpenGL Shading Language|OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL)]].
