About this Mod
SAPS
SAPS is a lightweight, strictly server-side Fabric mod designed for server administrators who want to have some harmless fun and prank their players. With simple commands, you can trigger jump-scare sound effects or strike players with beautiful, completely safe lightning.
Since it is 100% Server-Side, your players do not need to install anything! Just drop it into your server's mods folder and start trolling.

Hostilecategory, making players believe a real monster is creeping right behind them.
