Extreme Monsters
by killmkill97
Extreme Monsters, a NeoForge technology mod for 1.21.1, builds a late-game progression around harder monsters, new materials and automated machines.
What it does
Progression starts with gathering resources and building the first industrial machines. Defeating a mob earns Black Hole Matter, which opens the next tier of crafting. Each tier brings stronger gear and more dangerous Hyper bosses, including the Hyper Magma Cube for Inferno Matter, the Hyper Ender Dragon for Dragon Matter and the Hyper Wither for the rarest Wither Matter. Trackers hunt players who stay in one place too long, so standing still carries a real cost.
The mod requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with the latest file 1.12.6 dated 2026-01-04. Source code is public, but the mod is All rights reserved and is not open source. The first release came out on 2025-06-28, and the last update on 2026-01-04.
Key features
Matter tier chain

Trackers
Trackers spawn when a player lingers in one spot, pushing players to keep moving through dangerous areas.
