Ender beetles
Ender beetles adds two Forge mobs to 1.20.1, the Ender beetle and the Endermite Queen, with a dormant egg, a renewable food source and a weapon built around them.
What it does
Dormant beetle eggs spawn naturally across the End highlands and need an Incubator to hatch. A hatched beetle must be hand-fed its favorite food to grow large and be revived, and it can be fed Endermite husks to breed. Beetles are wary of Endermen and show a fierce hatred toward them, and they lay eggs slowly and only now and then. A simple warming pad, made from endstone, ghast tears and blaze rods, keeps the egg warm until it hatches.
Endermite Queens spawn occasionally in the hive structures across the End highlands and midlands, where they give birth constantly. Each Endermite produces an Endermite husk about every minute, so the husks become a renewable food source. Harmony berries grow in End patches once replanted and drop two to three berries when harvested, and eating one gives a levitation effect. A beetle steak crafted with them makes a meal that helps grow beetles.
Ender beetles requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file, released under All rights reserved.
