FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21.5 – 26.2

What it does

The mod introduces four new archetypes, four new mutations and one APEX archetype. Mobs of these types drop custom items whose strength depends on how hard the mob was to defeat, and APEX mobs carry the strongest items in the set, which are only found by defeating the toughest enemies. Dropped items can be crafted afterwards, and each one comes with recipes, passives and abilities.

Spellbooks are part of the content, letting a player take on the threats in the world with magic. The server must run the mod, while players may add it to their clients. It is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.21.5 – 26.2 with 11 release versions, and the latest file is 1.0.6+mod for 26.2.

  4. Craftable items with passives

    Dropped items can be crafted once their recipes are known, and they grant passives and abilities.

  5. Spellbooks

    Spellbooks are included, giving players magic to use against the mobs and the wider world.
