Dark Magic Forest
Dark Magic Forest is a Forge adventure mod for 1.16.5 with a magic forest biome, bosses, three player classes and accessories.
What it does
The mod adds a magic forest biome in the overworld, with two subtypes, and two dimensions reached through the depths and abyss. Six bosses and two minibosses are placed across them, and bosses grow stronger in multiplayer. Defeating the Ender Dragon switches the world into a harder night mode where mobs become stronger, which the author flags as a known problem.
Players pick one of three classes: a Mage that shoots with a staff and uses magic shards, an Archer that fires bows and guns with bullets or arrows, and a Warrior that fights with swords. The mage and archer each have a set of armor, and the warrior has one set. Accessories go into four slots that open with the V key, and they can be applied and moved back. The mod's Magic Glut and permanent effect in the dark magic forest can be reduced with an enchanted amulet, which has to be crafted. Drinking milk clears effects, and the Aether god wind is also part of the content. The mod requires Forge, runs on client and server, and is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
Key features
Three player classes
Mage, Archer and Warrior each use their own weapons and armor sets, so the fighting style depends on the class chosen.

Six bosses and two minibosses are spread across the overworld and the two added dimensions for players to fight.
Accessories
Accessories occupy four slots, opened with the V key, and apply their effects until they are moved or removed.
