Server Side Horror is a fully configurable and server-side mod that introduces ambient horror to your Minecraft world. It features only one jumpscare and a range of subtle and unsettling events that start occurring after a grace period that is by default set to three days expires. The mod also adds a few new structures. Best of all, players don't need to install anything, which means you can put this on your server without the players even knowing it's there.
SPOILERS
This mod is highly configurable. You can disable or change the odds of each event. You can also add or remove names, chat messages or sign texts. You can configure this mod directly in-game or by editing the JSON file located at config/serversidehorror.json in your profile folder. To learn how to configure my mods, check out this page, or if you want to read a more detailed description of this mod, check out its wiki.

Q: How does this mod differ from "From The Fog"?
A: While this mod includes a few events inspired by the story of Herobrine it doesn't exclusively focus on that. Server Side Horror mainly aims to make your world feel cursed (in the spooky good way). While being fully server-side, "From The Fog" isn't.
Q: Do you plan on developing this mod any further?
A: Yes, even tho this mod has been made as a submission for the 2025 Serverside Summer Modjam, I do plan to continue developing this mod further and adding more events and features over time.
