Beastly Buggers
by ZeenyWeenyMC
Beastly Buggers brings insect and arachnid mobs to Minecraft Java Edition, with unique loot dropped by each kind of creature.
What it does
Many kinds of insects and arachnids spawn in the world as new hostile and neutral creatures. Some attack with poisonous darts or magic, while others stay passive or trade with the player. Defeating them yields rewards that are only available from these creatures, so each encounter gives a reason to explore.
The mod is aimed at players who want more challenge and excitement while exploring, and it keeps the feel of vanilla play. Content is spread across several biomes instead of one structure, and some items can be obtained through a new villager profession, so they do not depend on finding a single dungeon. Cyclops entities appear across three dimensions, and new ores and blocks add crafting options to a survival playthrough.
Installation needs no extra dependency. Beastly Buggers runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, with the latest Fabric build 1.0.4-1.21.11 for 1.21.11 and the latest Quilt build 1.0.4-1.21.10 for 1.21.10. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
