Chroma Realms
by ErrorDan
Chroma Realms, a Forge mod for 1.16.5 by ErrorDan, adds boss mobs, odd variants of farm animals and a demonic villager to the game.
What it does
Chroma Realms adds modified versions of familiar mobs, including a chroma cow, a chroma pig, a boss cow, a boss zombie, a boss spider and a boss chicken. The boss variants are meant to be tougher than the ordinary creatures they are based on, and the demon villager is another hostile addition. The author describes the mod as a challenge for players who want to test their skills against unusual enemies.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Its only published build is Forge 1.4.0 for 1.16.5, released on 2023-08-05 after a first release on 2023-07-27. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved. A public issue tracker and a wiki are available for reporting problems and reading about the content.

Who it’s for: Players who want unusual, harder mobs in a Forge 1.16.5 world. Server owners who run the mod need it installed on the server and on every client that joins.
How it compares
Challenging Creatures is also a Forge mod for 1.16.5 that is client and server, and it is released under All rights reserved, so the two share the same loader, version and license. Chroma Key Blocks is a different kind of mod: it targets Fabric and Forge for 1.19.2 and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, so it does not cover 1.16.5.
