About:

The John Mod Reborn is a horror mod inspired from the 2011 Minecraft Mod, The John Mod, and the 2012 remake, along with the 2020 remaster of the mod. The mod aims to recreate a modern look of the John, featuring new items, textures, and new creatures to discover, while keeping the same creepy vibe from the original mod, and more.

John:

A rare creature, colloquially known as "John." Its origins are completely unknown. As far as what we do know, well, very few have ever lived to tell the tale. Its skin is extremely thin and almost completely white. With two mouths, one on its torso and the other on its head, the humanoid creature is known for ripping its victims apart and consuming their husks simultaneously. Its face bears a striking resemblance to that of a crying man, its mouth wide open, constantly emitting a piercing cry, all with a constant stream of bloody tears coming from its soulless eyes. It preys on fear and will often toy with its victims before it strikes. They are fast, strong, efficient, and brutal. Do not approach.

Baby John:

These infant variants are the young versions of the previous variants. They have not yet developed any special "skills," as it were. But they can still be dangerous, especially in groups. They emerge in groups of up to 15, and are remarkably fast, much faster than most adult versions. However they are also much weaker. Contrary to most biological fauna, these infants have a low pitched voice that gets higher the older they get, their screams cannot be heard from far. Regardless, they are still hostile despite their infancy. Do not approach.

Mega John:

When the moon is full, the Hunted changes. A bolt of energy strikes him. Similar to a lighting bolt. This transforming him, into a Mega John. It's height dwarfs the trees in the forest. It is 15 meters tall, has a 200-meter range of vision, and can be heard shrieking from a distance of more than 500 meters. If you see it, run away, hide, and wait. It'll be gone for the next three lunar cycles.. Because it is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen..

Edition Support:

This mod is for Forge 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.4, and 1.20.1. And maybe a small Fabric port is comin' soon
