Gloom Raiders
by 2878558583
Gloom Raiders adds six illager characters for Forge 1.20.1, each with its own weapons, mobs and abilities, and needs Geckolib to run.
What it does
The six new illagers are Nun, Earl, Dramatist, Headsman, Psychic and SpellSword, and the mod adds a range of mob items tied to them. Some are built around summoning or transforming, such as one character who calls vampire bats and turns undead into vampires, and another who creates guillotines. A few are friendly mobs, including a Priest that provides buff effects and a Priest Intelligencer that works with it.
The mod is made for players who want more illager-based encounters on Forge 1.20.1. Geckolib is a required dependency, so it has to be installed alongside the mod. Gloom Raiders is client-side only, so servers can run without it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, with 1.3.9 as the latest file, published 2026-09-29.
