The Backrooms: Found Footage
The Backrooms: Found Footage is a NeoForge psychological horror mod that adds a set of levels from the internet Backrooms subject, each with its own entities and animations.
What it does
Each level is a separate place with its own layout and creatures. Level 0 is an endless yellow maze with a tall entity called Lifeform, and later levels cover an infinite garage, a childhood party room with a mascot, and an impossibly long hospital hallway. The author describes the mod as an early alpha, with many bugs and unfinished level features, so the content is incomplete.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. It requires Geckolib and playerAnimator on NeoForge. Files are published for 1.21, 1.21.1 and 1.21.2, and the latest NeoForge file, 0.0.8-4 for 1.21.1, is in the alpha channel. It is released under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features
Level 0 maze
An endless yellow maze where the player is alone and must avoid Lifeform, a tall entity that hunts the player.
Garage and party levels
An infinite garage filled with creatures called Smilers and Hounds, and a party room with aggressive entities based on nursery rhymes.
Hospital hallway
A very long hospital corridor that the author lists as the most intense level of the set.
