Fables
by Mothdrops
Fables adds fictional critters to Minecraft, with the Crownfly as its main mob, which spawns in the Nether and can be tamed with Golden Apples.
What it does
Crownfly mobs spawn in the Nether near Blocks of Raw Gold, and placing a block of Raw Gold in the Nether can trigger new natural spawns. A Crownfly Hive structure also generates. Tamed Crownflies accept different trim materials when right-clicked, and they can be given colored gems. Fed Raw Copper, they produce Molts, which can be turned into Rose Gold, a new material used in crafting.
Enchanted helmets can be placed on a Crownfly, which gives it extra properties. Shift-right-clicking switches the mob back to its default state. The mod adds several enchantments for tools and armor, including Venomous, which applies Poison on hit, and Wind Drifting, which can be found in End Cities and applied to Crownfly Elytra for a slow descent.
The mod needs Curios API and Geckolib, both of which must be installed alongside Fables. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2026-06-05. The mod is All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Poison Immunity is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is All rights reserved and not open source; it works on either side, and neither needs it. Truboglaz creatures is another Forge option, but for 1.19.2 only, and both the server and every player need it. Fable-Mod also covers Fabric and Forge across 1.16.5 – 26.2 under the Apache License 2.0, with both sides needed. Fables differs in targeting a single version, 1.20.1, and in being limited to Forge.
