The Trojan
by Smael
With The Trojan installed, an ordinary-looking world can turn hostile, because the mod adds horror mobs modeled on a broken, hacked system.
What it does
The Trojan is a Mobs mod for Forge 1.20.1 that adds two horror characters, named Virus and Trojan. Its premise is an ordinary mod that goes wrong: a player installs what appears to be a regular addition, and something in the installed content begins to misbehave. The author describes the mod as inspired by mimic-type entities and by broken-script events, so the creatures are meant to feel out of place rather than simply aggressive.
Installation requires Forge; no other loader is listed. The server and every player need the mod installed. The latest Forge file is 1.3.7 for 1.20.1, published 2025-04-14, and the first release dates from 2025-03-02. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Virus mob
A horror character named Virus, presented as the hacked-system threat the premise is built around.
Trojan mob
A second horror character named Trojan, meant to feel like the broken script that wants out of the world.
Mimic-style events
Encounters are framed around entities that pass for ordinary content before they reveal themselves.
Horror tone
The mod is built around fear rather than combat, with the creatures acting out of place in a normal game.
