by jmecn

Desert Behemoths Sandworms - Fix is a Forge fork of the Desert Behemoths: Sandworms mod that repairs a server crash caused by the original's sandworms.

ForgeClient required, server optionalGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.20.1 – 1.20.6

What it does

The fork corrects a server crash in the original Desert Behemoths: Sandworms mod. Where the upstream version relied on a simple client-side check, this modified version changes that logic so the server no longer fails when the sandworms are present. The author submitted the same fix as a pull request to the original author, and this fork carries it for players who need it now.

Only the crash is addressed. The original gameplay features remain unchanged, and the mod changes gameplay balance mechanics only where the fix requires it. Because the fork is a modified version of Desert Behemoths, it is meant to be read alongside the original project rather than as a separate creation.

Only the client needs the mod, so servers can run without it. Files are published for Forge across six release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 1.1.2 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, first published 2026-03-27 and last updated 2026-03-29. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with full source code available on GitHub.

What the author says

This is a modified version of Desert Behemoths: Sandworms! by frozenhamburgers. The original mod crashes on dedicated servers when a player shoots a sandworm. This is because SonicBoomFx is a client-only class, but it was being called on the server side.
