Cyborg Robot Chicken: Returns
by SangreBK
Cyborg Robot Chicken: Returns is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that adds a chicken-hunting storyline built around cyborg robot chickens and a temporal rift opener.
What it does
Players take the role of someone who has harmed chickens. Killing infant chickens raises a notoriety level, and higher levels send stronger robot chicken troops to hunt the player down. Defeated robot chickens drop components that can be used to enhance the player in several ways, and a dedicated implant system lets players try different implants and keep the ones they prefer.
Once enough robot chickens have been hunted, a temporal rift opener can be crafted to confront the pursuer, Cyber Robot Chicken, who does not go down without a fight. The mod also sketches a future in which chickens hold power over the overworld, and it plans additional content such as a pilotable Chicken Rex machine and an explorable Chicken-Topia. The author suggests pairing it with a recipe viewer for a smoother experience.
Cyborg Robot Chicken: Returns runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, and the latest file is 1.0.4 for 1.20.1 on the beta channel. The code is public as source code, but the mod is All rights reserved and not open source.
