Degroid
by slavchik___
Degroid, a Forge mod for 1.20.1 by slavchik, adds a bizarre cast of gnomes, buffoonish creatures and a chaotic set of content for adventure players to stumble into.
What it does
The mod fills the world with a large number of structures and mobs, many of them strange by design. Most of the creatures are passive and can be thrown, and one of them annoys players enough by stealing gold statues from villages that the experience feels deliberately unsettling. Others take the form of dangerous explorers in volcanic waste, or radioactive wasp nests that show up in unexpected places.
Some characters are built as fights to be won. A defender protects everyone around him and stands his ground unless attacked, while a bandit earns a living by jumping out to scare children and old people. A bonus pair of new villager professions fulfills requests in villages. Degroid runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and the license is the MIT License, but the mod is not open source.
Key features
Chaotic creature roster
Gnomes, odd passive mobs and hostile explorers add unpredictable encounters to ordinary exploration.
Combat effects
A well-placed hit can shrink an enemy to a fraction of its size, and a quick retreat lets the player vanish in a ninja-style move.
Hidden surprises
Some discoveries are placed in unusual spots, such as items found under a toilet and a shelter with two different personalities.
Extra villager professions
Two added professions let villagers take on requests that the vanilla trade system does not cover.
