CrownCrawl
by nesquik_owo
CrownCrawl adds a set of original creatures, bosses, items and gear to NeoForge worlds, aimed at players who want a harder survival game.
What it does
Inspired by insects and amphibians, CrownCrawl brings new creatures into the world, including frogs, flies and snails in more dangerous, enhanced variants. Exploring biomes that hold these mobs means facing a more demanding environment than vanilla Minecraft offers.
Custom bosses sit at the center of the mod's progression. Defeating them yields custom items, and those items can be crafted into special gear that works through new mechanics. The author describes the design goal as improving the vanilla experience and making the game more difficult, with a tougher survival experience in mind.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 (8 release versions). It runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the MIT License, though it is not open source. It is compatible with JEI, which the author recommends for viewing crafting recipes in-game.
