HorrorFace
HorrorFace adds a 3D animated horror creature to Forge, a hunter that tracks players through the world and does not give up the chase.
What it does
The creature is a custom 3D mob with animations built to look unsettling. Once it catches the scent of a player or locks eyes on one, it starts a permanent chase that continues through the night. Players have few options: running, hiding, praying or surviving until dawn.
The mod turns standard survival into a stealth and evasion challenge, changing the pacing of the game. Its tracking logic is advanced, so breaking line of sight and blocking paths matter more than fighting. It is aimed at players who want a true survival horror experience in Minecraft.
HorrorFace is built for Forge and covers 1.20.1 only, where the latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-05-27. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
