Barbarians (S.I.C.)
Barbarians (S.I.C.) adds three hostile mobs to 1.16.5 Forge: barbarians, bandits and dark wizards, each with its own attacks and drops.
What it does
Barbarians look much like villagers, since they wear the same appearance, which makes them hard to tell apart at a glance. Barbarians throw eggs from range, bandits fire arrows and attack with iron daggers, and dark wizards cast ranged spells. When a barbarian dies it can drop emerald, a bandit drops an iron dagger, and a dark wizard drops a stun spell.
The mod suits survival worlds where players want new threats in the wild, and it also works for multiplayer servers that run Forge 1.16.5. Daggers of several types join the item list. They are crafted at a crafting table, and they attack faster than swords while dealing less damage. Dark wizards are the only source of the stun spell, since it cannot be crafted; the spell delivers heavy damage and ignites its targets.
Barbarians (S.I.C.) is a Forge mod for 1.16.5 only, released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and not open source. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod.
