Fictitious Mobs
Fictitious Mobs adds new hostile creatures, including a boss called the Voidguard, to Forge and NeoForge worlds for 1.20.1 and later.
What it does
The mod adds three more mobs that players meet in the world, each with its own behavior. The Hunter is a fast close-range fighter armed with a shotgun, and its dash ability closes gaps instantly. The Ghoul releases three will-o-wisps that seek the player, and contact with them causes temporary blindness. Phantasmic Souls dropped by Ghouls can be smelted down into phantom membrane. The Hunter's Knife, dropped by the Hunter, lets its dash direction gain speed.
The Voidguard is a boss summoned through a new void fountain structure. Right-clicking the fountain with a Totem of Undying places an altar that grants the Void image, and the image is used to summon the guardian. The Voidguard teleports short distances toward close targets, strikes with a dark staff, and releases clouds of deadly Void Smoke that damage anyone inside. Its Stance Meter fills as it is hit, and damage comes mainly after its strikes, when it lowers its arms.
Fictitious Mobs is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, and is not open source under All rights reserved. It is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it.

Use cases
Boss fights
Players who want a structured boss encounter can summon the Voidguard from the void fountain and learn its timing for strikes and recovery.

Amphibious humanoids appear in mangrove swamps, and a fiery bat that yields fire resistance brewing material lives in the Nether.
Who it’s for: Players who want new hostile mobs and a boss fight on Forge or NeoForge, and server owners who install it for a shared world. Both sides need the mod, so it fits multiplayer servers as well as single-player worlds.
