The John Mod Reborn
Horror fans who want a modern take on the character from the 2011 Minecraft mod can install The John Mod Reborn, a Forge mod that adds new items and textures.
What it does
The John Mod Reborn is a horror mod that recreates the character from earlier mods of the same name, including a 2011 original, a 2012 remake and a 2020 remaster. The author describes the mod as an attempt to give the character a contemporary appearance, adding new items, textures and related content. Some textures draw on a community texture pack released in 2022.
Both the server and every player need the mod, because the environment is client and server. Files are published for Forge across five release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, with 1.0.6 for 1.19.2 as the latest file, released on 2023-12-14. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Public links exist for an issue tracker and a wiki.
