Project Fright
by Decyphvr
Project Fright is a Forge horror mod that brings more than 140 mobs from horror films, games and internet folklore into a survival world.
What it does
The mod fills the world with horror content, with creatures drawn from sources such as Trevor Henderson's art, Evil Dead, Happy Death Day, Baldi's Basics, Five Nights at Freddy's and Creepypasta. The author describes it as a progressive survival experience, where a player fights hostile mobs while moving through a world. Future updates are planned to add dimensions, ores and more mobs.
Geckolib is required, so it must be installed alongside the mod. Project Fright is published only for Forge, with 2 release versions: 1.19.4 and 1.20.1. Its latest Forge file is 0.3.4 for 1.20.1, on the beta channel. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is covered by All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Mirror Horror Project is a Forge mod for 1.20.1, with the same client and server environment and All rights reserved as its license, so it is not open source. Intense Horror is also Forge, for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, and is client and server with All rights reserved, not open source. Each alternative covers a different set of creatures, so the choice depends on which version and mob set a player wants.
