Chaos Awakens
by FunkyMonk16
Chaos Awakens brings world generation, mobs, gear and boss fights to Forge 1.16.5, built around the ideas of the earlier OreSpawn mod.
What it does
The mod is a work in progress. Its author describes it as a spiritual successor to OreSpawn: the concept follows that mod, but the content, including every asset, is made by the development team. Features and additions may change at any time, and major additions such as bosses will arrive in later updates.
Geckolib is required and must be installed alongside the mod. Chaos Awakens is published for Forge 1.16.5 only, with 0.12.1.1 as the latest beta file, released 2024-09-04. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and the mod is not open source; it is distributed under All rights reserved. Jade, Just Enough Items, Just Enough Resources and The One Probe are optional and add their own information screens when present.
Key features
Strong enemies
Hostile creatures are added with stronger stats and new behaviour, designed for the dimensions the mod adds.
Crazy dimensions
The mod adds dimensions with terrain and biomes that differ from the vanilla overworld.
New gear
New weapons and armour extend the equipment available to players as they progress.
Cute animals
Friendly animal mobs are included alongside the hostile creatures.

How it compares
Spartan Awakens is a Forge 1.16.5 mod under All rights reserved, so it covers the same version and is not open source. MineMania is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under the MIT License, so it targets later versions. The Between Awakens is also a Forge mod under the MIT License, for 1.19.4 – 1.20.1. All three are client and server mods.

What the author says
Q. Where are the major bosses and other distinct features? A. This mod is still very early in development and will be for some time, so major additions, such as bosses, will come as updates get released later down the road.
