Gergamod
Gergamod is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds several new mobs, ranging from real-world animals to invented creatures.
What it does
The mod's creatures fall into two groups. Some are based on real animals such as blue lobsters, hamsters and birds, while others are fictional, like the Mogue Lobster and Mutants. Each creature serves a purpose: some drop unique items, some have special mechanics or functions, and others exist purely for appearance, helping certain environments feel more alive.
The mod also adds unique tools and weapons that support progress through the game. Its models, textures, animations and AI are styled to sit alongside the vanilla game's latest additions. Gergamod requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it.
Gergamod runs on the client and the server, so both need the mod. It is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
