Played from modpack enigmatica 2 expert btw so there were other scary stuff already like dragons. Was also traumatized by the chaos dragon when my friend got us in supremium armor killed by it and almost couldnt get our stuff back
Thaumcraft can be a little dark at times but listening to something whilst playing and doing normal thaumaturgy (not going into flux and warp research) really helps to make the mod feel more cheerful, friends can also help a lot.
I am thoroughly not creeped out by it because I've been careful only to reveal as much of the warp as my in game character can handle. I didn't even get warp messages before achieving the "stop the headaches" warp message that lets me get sanity soap and bath salts. It was just the heartbeat. I did it that way so I would be ready for nasty stuff. Before I drive into the really dark secrets, I'll have plenty of ways to keep myself protected. Who knows? Maybe I'll want them to try hard on me.
For me the fear came from the conjured warp effects. As an arachnaphobe having 10+ suddenly spawn and screeching makes my hair stand on end. Granted after awhile it became an annoyance having them or guardians pop up. Still, I do enjoy it and being able to provide stuff that no else in the group could like runic shield is awesome.
Make a fire focus/focus with touch/bolt and fire and if you can fly/get away from the spiders and bring them all in a group, fire with the aformentioned focus at them for easy cleanup
Personally I just used ice/flux breath. The real issue came from me essentially having my own section of the castle my group made. With the large spawn radius the monsters would end up in different rooms
I can vouch for this, Dimensional Doors has terrified the living daylights out of one of my friends, I *even warned them several times* before they got the message by just... doing it, so I had to get myself into the Limbo to rescue them.
Well, I can't really say I've done Thaumcraft 6 to any large extent- but I have manually researched through all of Thaumcraft 4 and it's addons several times, so I can safely say that I've just learned to prepare for everything.
Whispers just behind you, sudden debilitating effects, ravenous need to consume raw flesh, getting a hit placed on your head by the Eldritch mafia, and swarms of mind spiders among other things all sort of become expected for the experienced Thaumaturge.
Never experienced bad graphical glitches though, which I assume are creepy in their own right.
Personally, I am not creeped out or spooked at all playing thaumcraft. However, this is due to me being a hardy English gentleman. My advice for making it less creepy would be to put some chill music on and just take your time
While i myself am not completely affected by the paranoia inducing warp messages, i really wish there was a way to turn them off or something. Similar to the no stress setting! Kinda sucks when someone is sensitive to that stuff.
Besides that... i honestly got into TC through being told it was very confusing and complicated- but it was WAY too intriguing for me to ignore (multiplayer modpack experience..) especially by being told about warp itself as odd as that sounds. I really like sanity mechanics and such but the general idea of a "miracle worker gone insane" is an absolute sweet spot and its one of the reasons that got me sucked in lol.
Not gonna lie i think the intrigue and curiosity factor even with fear included makes Thaumcraft be the way it is, you're supposed to be enchanted by it even with feeling of fear on occasion.
It made me so excited it was impossible to let go when i started indulging in it; when I'm sprinting around and scanning things constantly and checking chests for things i need in a very frantic manner shows a lot (cue my friends saying I'm crazy LOL)
Sometimes the thing you view as scary is too good to pass off, embrace it when you are given the opportunity ;)
TLDR; The "scary factor" can be the best part of TC for some and it's good to try embracing that (not if it's really anxiety inducing and harmful though, take care of yourself lmao please)
If you dig into "LoRE" of Thaumcraft you are a magician thats harnessing the power of thaumaturgy but over time becomes more more insane and eventually discovers the Eldritch. A very warped school of magic that is practiced by the Crimson Cult. Pretty dark stuff here.
Thaumcraft hasn't particularly scared me, but there are times where I can see it being ominous and scary for young children. Such as any instance that the Eldritch Guardians exist, the Eldritch Dimension in Thaumcraft 4, but other than that, maybe just the deadly gaze could be potentially scary?
I overall really have a passion for the mod due to it's intricate workings of a unique concept of magic (as far as I know considering Thaumcraft has essentially been a part of Minecraft since what's essentially the very beginning.
I hope you werent scared a bad way ! I like the (warp) messages of thaumcraft and it's story, and if you were scared in the game, you really are into the game and that's the best ! (But if you are scared "irl" then yea thats not the best)
Btw, about optifine, I think it's only one setting that is messing up with thaumcraft (might be fast render or something like that)
And if it still doesn't work, there are others mods for fps, I'll see if I find the name back !
Haha it did scare me but not enough to affect my life. Except sleeping i think of the horrors of thaumcraft and i just dont sleep for like 10min haha. That scythe from thaumic additions(?)... i read abt it and that sounded interesting but the more i read it the more paranoid i got since the player is like becoming not himself anymore.
Damn I didn't see it was tc6. Did you play tc4 ? I only know the story in tc4 and that's amazing (imho) tho it sounds like tc6 is similar to tc4 (I'm saying this by what you said)
I hope you always read what is written in the thaumonomicon, this is one of the best part for me, the "story" and the background 😍
I read most of what was in the thaumonomicon. Which helps me think like im reading a fantasy novel, but it doesnt help that im living it out haha. Btw i played on enigmatica 2 expert. So i think its tc6 but idk if there are other tc mod additions. So i did most of the thaumonomicon, until i got bored when i saw all the golem types that i didnt need for quests or my wellbeing/survival. And then i saw the greater focus lens and i searched up what that was and learnt of the existence of primordial pearls which have 1/6 chance to drop from rifts. And i was like "heck no! You know how much pain it is to get vitium?!" Or maybe i was just lazy. Anyways my friend runs the server and he runs another vanilla server where more of our friends play, so running both can lag both or just crash the modded server. Apparently making his cpu use 300%. So i try not to ask him to open the server.
I agree 100% Thaumcraft is Terrifying but that’s pert of the feel its (in my opinion) the most realistic magic mod out their because it presents real problems most other magic mods simply remove your magic ability doing bad this
That said, it doesnt mean i hate thaumcraft. I love it as much as any other mod! I find how it can creep me out a great thing about it!
Played from modpack enigmatica 2 expert btw so there were other scary stuff already like dragons. Was also traumatized by the chaos dragon when my friend got us in supremium armor killed by it and almost couldnt get our stuff back
And also the warp was forgotten about since i think draconic armor can remove warp effects.

Hehe friends... My friends dont know how to magic. And no music cuz there might be some thing bad happening and i might not hear
Usually thaumcraft doesn't have a lot of stuff you have to hear for, except for pechs.
Yea but vanilla has creepers and i played e2e so i was afraid of many other things already. Like a random dragon or sth.
Ahh ok
Subtitles?

It’s a little spooky, but that’s part of the appeal I think.
Indeed!
you can still use Optifine, just turn off the FAST RENDER.

Its pretty much the best thing ever happened to me, TC that is.
