Demi Gods Rising
by PlackiMalpa0
Demi Gods Rising, a Forge magic mod for 1.20.1, adds a Merlin character, a staff with spells, and a command that hands the player the starting item.
What it does
Players receive the Merlin item through the command demigods:melrin, and right-clicking it opens the spell set. The staff is held in the main hand while a separate item goes in the off hand, and each spell is then cast from that pairing. Levitation, shrink and a punch-style effect that shrinks a targeted entity are among the spells described in the author text.
The mod was made to fill a gap the author found in other troll hunter and Merlin mods, and it covers the server side as well as the creative bar. Because the author notes say the mod is server-lore focused, server owners can use the command to hand out the item without any extra setup. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
The mod is marked as a beta release, and the author has not published a later version or any planned features, so the card covers the single 1.0.0 file dated 2024-11-12. Demi Gods Rising is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Greek Gods is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 and is client-side only, so servers run without it, while Demi Gods Rising needs both sides. Rising Storm is a Fabric and Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is client and server, so it can run on Fabric where Demi Gods Rising cannot. Other Gods is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that also needs both sides, and it adds a different set of divine themes.
