Gateway Invasion!
by Eddvolt
Gateway Invasion! adds a Gateway dimension, a long-forgotten civilization reached through a portal that takes two items to build, and a set of hostile mobs that populate it.
What it does
The portal to the Gateway dimension needs two items to activate, which changes how it is built compared with a standard nether-style frame. Once inside, the dimension is described as collapsed, and its terrain includes Warped Hyphae blocks that are a concentrated form of the Warped Oak vanilla item, along with a Flint variant of the same material. Flint Steel is part of the crafting path for these early stages.
Breezes and Creakings spawn naturally in the Gateway dimension. Hostile creatures include Converted Creepers, Blue Creepers that fire arrows at players, Soul Sand Ghasts that launch fireballs, and Brines. Water-bound creatures stay stationary near water and attack anyone who comes close, and hybrids combining traits of Guardians and Piglins are found only in Bastions, while a mutant Creaking variant spawns at random across the dimension.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. It is published for NeoForge only, across four game versions, 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. The code is under All rights reserved, so the project is not open source.
