Fights&Frights

by Lebeno

Fights&Frights adds new monsters and creatures to Forge and NeoForge worlds on Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with several mobs tied to infection, rituals and ore-dwelling beetles.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverCC0 1.0 Universal1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Monsters from the mod spawn in the overworld, in caves, jungles and certain biomes, following the usual rules for hostile mobs. Some bosses appear only in the Shackled biome and need an Ominous Hex to be summoned. Rituals can bring back reanimated mobs, and the infection mechanic spreads an undead pandemic through the world.

The mod adds Terrantulas, Banshaas, Scowls and Mimentises, along with Mimic Beetles that live inside certain ores. Each creature has its own behavior: Terrantulas dig underground to reposition, Banshaas use screams to lure other monsters, Scowls drop poisonous gas clouds, and Mimentises copy the appearance and moves of other monsters.

The mod requires Geckolib on both Forge and NeoForge. It runs on client and server, so every player and the server need it. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the mod is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Overworld creatures

    New crawling and flying creatures populate the overworld, adding encounters beyond the vanilla mob list.

  2. Infection and rituals

    An infection mechanic can spread an undead pandemic, and rituals reanimate mobs or summon bosses through Ominous Hexes.

  3. Shackled biome bosses

    Bosses in the Shackled biome appear only after an Ominous Hex is summoned, and smoke from shackled death is controlled by a setting.

  4. Mimic Beetle ores

    Mimic Beetles inhabit certain ores and can spawn from them, presenting a hidden threat while mining.

What the author says

I'd also like to credit the contributions of EclipseValley, Idk (mordimillie) and Weether as well as the discord in making this mod much better:) I've always wanted a monster expansion, but a lot of mob and boss mods didn't quite scratch that vanilla itch I had, so I made the mod myself! I am sorry if the quality…
