Forgotten Beasts
by Grinner117
Forgotten Beasts is a Forge mod that adds mythical creatures such as owlbears and griffons, which players meet while exploring new areas and face in encounters.
What it does
The mod brings Dungeons and Dragons style creatures into Minecraft. Owlbears, griffons and other beasts appear in areas that vanilla worlds do not normally produce, so a player who travels far can run into them. Each creature is meant to add a new level of challenge to fights and exploration, and players build their own D&D style adventures around them, facing dangerous creatures and completing quests for rewards.
Forgotten Beasts requires Forgotten Mobs Geckolib 1.19 to run. The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. It is published for Forge and for 1.19.2 only, and it is not open source: it is released under All rights reserved. The latest Forge file is 2.7.1 for 1.19.2, dated 2023-11-01.
Key features
Mythical creatures
Owlbears, griffons and other mythical beasts are added as mobs with their own behavior in the world.
Encounters in new areas
Creatures spawn in places that do not appear in vanilla terrain, so exploration leads to fights a player would not otherwise find.
Quests and rewards
Players take on quests against dangerous creatures and receive rewards for completing them.
Adventure creation
The beasts support D&D style adventures in which players must decide how to face each threat.
Compatibility

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners running a 1.19.2 Forge server who want more monsters and quest content. Players who enjoy tabletop style adventures in Minecraft will find the creatures suited to that play.
How it compares
Creatures and Beasts is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, runs on client and server, and is published for Forge on 1.18.2 – 1.19.2, so it covers 1.19.2 too but also needs the client. Forgotten Beasts is server-side only and is not open source, so players join without installing it. The Beast OTGW, The Mortis Dimension, Elemental Beasts and The Dark Heart Inefection are all Forge mods for 1.20.1 with client and server environments, so they do not run on 1.19.2.
