Another Nextbot Mod [Nextbots]

Nextbots are entities that chase players, and this mod brings a set of them into the game. The default content includes 13 Nextbots, drawn from several sources. The author describes the project as a quick, joke-driven build, made by one person over about four days, with the entities rendered slippery and the mod built around playful, goofy variants.

The mod is data-driven. A datapack can add custom Nextbot variants, each defined by a JSON file in a variant directory, with textures, sounds and speed set in the pack. Textures and sounds may come from vanilla Minecraft, other mods or a resource pack, and the author notes that textures are expected at 128x128 pixels, without testing of other resolutions. Squake Ported is required, so it must be installed alongside this mod.

The mod runs on NeoForge and is released for 26.1.2 only, with v1.0.0 as the latest file. It is installed on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need it.
