Dota2World
Dota2World brings Dota 2 heroes and items into Minecraft, and its player progression is planned around killing hero bosses in dungeons.
What it does
Dota2World is a Forge economy and adventure mod built on a Dota 2 setting. Its items and mechanics are adapted from the game, including modifications to stats such as damage, speed and defense. Some items from the original are already transferred, and the author plans to add more, including new crafts and combined item forms.
The mod is in beta. The latest Forge file, 0.6.4-beta for 1.20.1, was published on 2026-08-08, and the project is marked as not open source under All rights reserved. Dota2World runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Its only supported game version is 1.20.1, and the author notes that development has slowed as the original interest faded.
Planned work includes leveling through hero bosses, a skill tree that is only partly implemented, new NPCs for dungeons, and reworked orb acquisition. These changes are listed as intentions and are not present in the current file.

Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want Dota 2 style heroes and items in a Forge 1.20.1 world, and who accept that the content is still in beta.
