The Meme From The Shadow
by Xw0ya
With The Meme From The Shadow installed, players who walk through a forest can meet a figure that jumps out with a funny sound.
What it does
The Meme From The Shadow reworks the Man Shadow mod and adds a set of funny pictures and sounds meant to make players laugh. The author describes a horror-styled mechanic in which the scare is replaced by a joke, so a screamer still appears but the aim is to make the player laugh rather than frighten them. The author states that the mod does not want to offend anyone.
The mod requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it on Forge. Files are published for 1.19.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 2.0 for 1.19.4 as the latest file, and the mod was first published on 2024-09-18 and last updated on 2025-07-07. It runs as a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

How it compares
Man From Hell is Forge only, server required with the client optional, and not open source. The Man From The Fog is also client and server, released under All rights reserved and not open source. The Meme From The Shadow keeps the scare but aims at comedy.
