ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.19.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

Players face a set of Japanese folklore creatures, collect their drops and craft samurai weapons and armors from them. Some of the weapons turn up in structures that generate in the world, so exploring can turn up gear before crafting. The mod's own mobs are described as not yet finished, and more are planned.

The mod requires TerraBlender and is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. The mod is not compatible with Optifine.

Key features

  1. Folklore creatures

    Japanese-inspired creatures populate the world, and each one drops items that can be used in crafting.

  2. Samurai armors

    New 3D armor sets are crafted from creature drops and worn like standard equipment.

  3. Samurai weapons

    Unique weapons join the armors, with some placed in world structures for players to find while exploring.

  4. Structure loot

    Structures generated in the world hold some of the weapons, so exploration can reveal them before crafting.
