Foes!
by CacaDemon
Foes! adds a set of hostile mobs that spawn in specific biomes and underground areas, along with active items that players can use during fights.
What it does
Each added mob has its own spawn rules. Several appear in biomes similar to plains, forests, swamps, jungles, the Nether Wastes and Basalt Deltas, while others spawn underground, in pure darkness, or in snowy and windswept terrain at night. The Quartz Golem is built like a golem and uses the Quartz Engine, and rivers are not safe after the additions.
The mod also adds nine active items: a vertical dash, a horizontal dash, an underwater dash, a short night vision effect, a self-destructing bomb, a teleport orb that swaps places with the target, a heal that restores one heart up to twelve times, a lava safety net, and an air tank that restores oxygen underwater. Foes! requires Geckolib, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 0.3 as the latest build.
Key features
Biome-specific hostile mobs
Mobs such as Faker, Duppy, Hyppoterra, Abruptor and Frostbite each spawn in a particular biome or time of day.
Underground and darkness mobs
Seer and Gnawm spawn underground, and Gloom appears in pure darkness below the surface.
Nine active items
Items such as Gust, Fly High, TeleOrb, Torpedo Boost and Air Tank give players dashes, teleportation and underwater help.
Dropped rarely item
Grace is a rare drop from a mob, and the heal it gives restores a heart up to twelve times.
