Horror Faces
With Horror Faces installed, unsettling faces appear in the world at night, in caves and in other dark places, and some of them hunt the player down.
What it does
Horror Faces adds 11 kinds of analog faces that spawn in the world, and each kind has its own spawn rate, with one image the most common. Some faces stand at a distance and stalk the player, others chase them up close, and a few haunt the player without moving toward them. The mod aims to make the game feel scarier without going over the top, and it leans on dark places such as night caves, where pure darkness suits the effect.
The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge and needs both the server and every player to have it, so it is a client and server environment. Files are published for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 1.21.4, with the latest Forge and NeoForge builds at 6.1.0 for 1.20.1 and 1.21.4. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved. The author says a Forge 1.19.2 build is planned and notes that NeoForge 1.21.1 is supported.

Subtle scare pacing
The design aims for unsettling moments rather than constant jump scares, with the author's Swayle-inspired videos as a reference point.
