Ants Unleashed
Ants Unleashed adds four ant types, an Ant Queen boss and an Ant Hill structure to Forge, with chitin-based blocks and gear that come from them.
What it does
Ants Unleashed adds four ant types, including Soldier Ants and Fire Ants, along with an Ant Queen. Ants spawn in the overworld, and the Ant Hill structure is where new ants and their special loot can be found. The Ant Queen is an overworld boss; when she is defeated, the player receives loot as a reward. Her attacks include shooting Ant Eggs at the player, and hostile mobs can also carry eggs or spawn with her.
Chitin is the main material of the mod. Chitin is dropped by ants and can be crafted into a block that resembles Ancient Debris, which can be shaped into stairs, slabs and walls. Ant Goggles are crafted from three chitin, two compound eyes and a leather helmet, and worn they give night vision. Compound eyes are obtained from ants; Soldier Ants can be bred and tamed with carrots, potatoes, beetroot or apples. The Ant Hill also adds decorative sand blocks, including red sand variants.
The mod requires GeckoLib. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, and the latest Forge file is 2.2.0 for 1.20.1. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Robby's General Biome Improvements is server-side only and under All rights reserved, with files for 1.19.2 – 1.20.1, so it adds biome changes without any client install. Desert Update is client and server, under All rights reserved, with files for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1, and changes deserts rather than adding ants. Creatures² targets only 1.20.1, is client and server and is not open source.
