SCP-151, The Painting
by Zcoper
SCP-151, The Painting is a Forge utility mod that adds a blue anomalous oil painting found inside a containment chamber, which players can cover with wool to stay safe.
What it does
SCP-151 spawns in containment chambers, usually in underground, plains and meadow biomes, and several can appear in one world. The painting is placed in a containment chamber and reacts to players who look at it: a player who looks directly at an uncovered SCP-151 begins to drown within the next few minutes, whether or not they are near water. Right-clicking the painting with colored wool covers it and prevents the anomalous effect.
The mod is built on Geckolib, which must be installed next to it. It adds a new item and a config file, and its history follows the SCP universe, where SCP-151 is known as the Painting. The mod was made with MCreator, and the author notes that its features are available across the different versions the mod supports.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 across three release versions, with 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1 as the game versions with files. The latest Forge build is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, released 2026-06-10, and the code is licensed as All rights reserved.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy the SCP universe and want a hazard that must be covered with wool, and server owners who run SCP-themed content on Forge 1.19.2 – 1.20.1.
How it compares
Flexible Painting is open source under the Apache License 2.0, runs on client and server, and is published for Forge 1.20.1, so it adds painting options rather than SCP-151's hazard. Underp Hangables is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, server-side only, and covers 1.7.10 – 1.12.2, so it is an older server option.
