Faces of mild inconvenience
by Chefmakes
Faces of mild inconvenience is a Fabric client-side mod that replaces the game's faces with unsettling images meant to make players question their surroundings.
What it does
Players see the faces in place of familiar textures, and most of them stay still rather than jump toward the player. The approach is closer to a slow sense of unease than to sudden scares, and the author notes that it pairs well with other horror mods that add atmosphere. Because the mod runs only on the client, a player can add it to any world or server without the server needing it.
The face textures are read from a faces folder used by the fohclient setup. Players can add or remove face files while the game is open, then press F3+T to reload the textures and see the change. The mod is for Fabric and targets 1.21.1 only, with the latest file at 1.0.1, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Public source code exists, but the license does not grant open-source rights.
Key features
Still faces
Most of the replacement faces remain in place, with no freezing or movement that would turn into a jumpscare.
Unsettling replacements
Faces modeled on a well-known horror source are swapped in for ordinary textures, which is the core effect of the mod.
Live face folder
Face files can be added to or removed from the faces folder during play, and F3+T reloads them without restarting the game.
Atmosphere pairing
The mod is meant to be combined with other horror mods to increase the sense of immersion.

What the author says
This is my attempt at making the infamous "faces of horror" mod. It works in very similar way with a few differences; Mainly that the faces don't freeze you and don't move. And Most importantly It's client side only. The mod is more aimed at making you question everything around you rather than full-on jumpscaring…
