FNAF Random Jumpscares
FNAF Random Jumpscares fires surprise scares at the player from the Five Nights at Freddy's animatronic roster, at random moments in play.
What it does
The mod triggers full-screen jumpscares drawn from a selection of Five Nights at Freddy's animatronics, including the FNAF 2 cast, Toy and Withered versions, Scraptrap, Lefty, Molten Freddy and Scrap Baby. Each scare plays as a frame-by-frame animation with matching sound effects from the games. Scares can land anywhere, including the main menu, roughly every 5 to 10 minutes.
The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and it requires Architectury API on every loader. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. The 1.20.1 build covers Forge, while the 1.21.9 and 1.21.10 builds cover all three loaders. The code is open source under the MIT License and is hosted with a public source repository and issue tracker.
Key features
Random animatronic scares
Jumpscares are chosen at random from the animatronic selection, so each scare can come from a different character.
Frame-by-frame animations
Full-screen scares play as animated frames in the style of the games, with the animation tied to each character.
Synced game audio
Sound effects from the games play in step with each animation, giving every scare its original audio.
Extra characters from the series
Entries from FNAF 3, the custom night mode and the Pizza Simulator widen the roster, including DeeDee and Trash Gang.

Scares on a server

Who it’s for: Players who enjoy horror content in Minecraft, and server owners who want randomized scares for their community, will find the mod's scope relevant.
