Dispersion
by fr1zen.
Dispersion is a Forge RPG overhaul in which players choose one of 18 classes, collect Soul Scepters and equip cursed gear while the world grows harder.
What it does
Every class gives a player a passive, an active ability and a talent tree whose branches open at levels 30, 40, 50 and 60. Two classes can play very differently, with some relying on brute force and others on control or vampirism.
Soul Scepters are one-time-use artifacts that permanently change how a class plays. Legendary items can amplify damage while cutting endurance, and cursed pieces of gear tell a story and carry risk against reward. Monsters grow stronger as days pass, and the land itself shifts with time, so the mod is aimed at players who want tactical decisions and punishing mechanics rather than long grinding.
Dispersion is a Forge mod that needs to be installed on both the server and every player's client. Files are published for 1.20.6 and six other game versions, with 1.16.5 and 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 covered. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
18 unique classes
Each class has a passive and an active ability plus a talent tree, giving many distinct ways to build a character.
Soul Scepters
One-time-use artifacts that permanently change how a class plays, obtained through the class progression.
Cursed gear and legendary items
Cursed pieces tell a story and carry risk, while legendary items amplify damage and cripple endurance.
Attribute and talent system
Attribute points and talents interlock, and a rarity system governs how equipment and power are earned.
Time-based difficulty
Monsters grow stronger as days pass, and the land itself shifts with time, which keeps early choices consequential.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy character building, theorycrafting and unforgiving mechanics. The mod suits singleplayer progression as well as RPG servers, since both sides need it installed.
How it compares
Soul Classes is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, not open source, and it runs on client and server. GahoodRPG covers 1.19.2 – 1.20.1 with the same loader and license. The Classes Mod is also for 1.20.1 but is released under the MIT License, so its license differs from Dispersion's.

What the author says
Dispersion is a dark RPG overhaul that drags Minecraft into a world of madness, sacrifice, and tactical choice. No two heroes are the same — every attribute point, every talent, and every cursed piece of gear tells a story of risk versus reward. The land itself shifts with time, and only those who master their class…
