VHS Horror dynamacam
by Cubixxgames
VHS Horror dynamacam, a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20 – 1.20.6, adds a camera that shakes and flickers in the style of analog horror footage.
What it does
The mod changes the first-person camera so it behaves like a worn VHS recording, with a shaking movement that players can see during play. Subtle static buzzing is layered into the effects, which is meant to support the analog horror look. The author describes the mod as built to create that immersion, and it changes only the camera and its effects.
The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it. Files are published for Forge only, across seven game versions, with 0.1.1-dev for 1.20.6 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Installation needs AmbientSounds, Camera Overhaul and Presence Footsteps on Forge. The author recommends pairing the mod with Kybus shaders and ReShade, and suggests turning in-game music off to get the full effect.
