Cyclops
by Faentum
Cyclops is a Forge mob mod that adds a one-eyed giant to the overworld, described in the author text as a creature from ancient legends.
What it does
Once spawned, the Cyclops wanders the overworld as a massive, brute-strength creature. The author describes its single glaring eye as watching intruders with primal fury, and its imposing size as part of the encounter. The model is a custom 3D design built in Blockbench, and its idle, walking, attacking, dying and spawning animations run on GeckoLib.
The mob fights with heavy melee attacks, so players who approach it unprepared face real danger. The mod is built with MCreator and GeckoLib and is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, where the latest file is 1.0.0, released on 2025-07-02. Players need the mod installed, while a server can run without it. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
