ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

A portal that is rarely found in the overworld leads to Darwin IV, a new dimension with six biomes and sixteen new mobs. The portal is activated with a Yuma Technology item, which is crafted from a Nether star, three iron ingots and redstone. The biomes include an amoebic sea, a deep amoebic sea, a pocket forest, a saline valley and a litoral zone, and each has its own creatures and loot.

The creatures include the emperor sea strider, the sea strider nymph, the disk flyer, the dark disk flyer, the stripewing, the amoebite, the amoebound, the prairie ram, the jetdarter, the skewer, the symbiont flyer and the sackback. The dimension is built on the alien planet from Wayne Barlowe's book Expedition. Three soundtracks were composed by PesterJest Heath for the dimension.

Darwin IV requires Geckolib, which must be installed next to it on Forge. The mod is for 1.20.1 only and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Only a beta is available, and the latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2024-06-02. The code is all rights reserved and is not open source.
