SCP: Modern
by CarlosMeji7
SCP: Modern is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that brings a modern, SCP-inspired facility with security cameras, monitors, disks and laboratory objects into the game.
What it does
Players explore a modern world inspired by the SCP universe, where survival, mysterious encounters and changing situations shape each session. Encounters can involve SCP entities that act as threats or as allies, alongside technology, security logic and mechanics that alter how the game is played. Its systems focus on quality over quantity, with complex logic and optimization meant to keep performance steady.
Security cameras can be placed and wired to monitors that show their feeds in real time, while disks record and store camera data. Modern decorative blocks, technological equipment and laboratory objects complete the setting. The mod is listed for Forge only, with builds for 1.20.1, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It is still in beta, and the license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0, so it is not open source.
