From THE NETHER [FTN]
by NetherTeam
From THE NETHER adds a Jack Black mob to Minecraft, a themed creature that roams the world and reacts to players.
What it does
The mod adds a Jack Black mob that stays calm until a player provokes it. Once angered, it runs around the area, sets fires and places water, attacks the player and plays funny sounds and lines. It can be bred with water buckets and will follow a player who holds flint and steel. The mob can also be ridden.
Installation runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.4 as the two release versions, with 1.2 as the latest file for each loader. The project is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. It is required by From THE NETHER: Expansion Pack, which is listed separately.

Use cases

Multiplayer servers
Server owners who run the mod can use the mob for lighthearted events with other players.
Who it’s for: Players who want a comedic hostile mob in survival or adventure worlds, and server owners who want a shared creature for events. The mod does nothing on its own beyond the mob and its behaviors.
