Godzilla: Rising
by debigbos47
Godzilla: Rising brings the kaiju from the Godzilla films into Minecraft, with several Godzilla variants, King Ghidorah and other monsters to find and fight.
What it does
The mod adds a roster of kaiju drawn from the Godzilla movies. Some of these monsters spawn naturally in the world, so players may run into them while exploring rather than only when they summon one.
The mod requires AttributeFix and Geckolib, which both need to be installed alongside it on Forge for 1.20.1. The author describes the project as still under development and asks players to report bugs, particularly with kaiju spawning naturally. Credit for the characters goes to TOHO and the original makers of Godzilla.
Godzilla: Rising is published for Forge only, with a single game version, 1.20.1, and its latest file is 1.0.0 from 27 August 2025. Both client and server need the mod, so the server and every player must install it. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Heisei Godzilla and Burning Godzilla
Two Godzilla variants from the film series are included as creatures players can encounter in the world.
King Ghidorah and Space Godzilla
The mod adds King Ghidorah and Space Godzilla as large monsters alongside the Godzilla variants.
Mechagodzilla and Kiryu
Showa Mechagodzilla and Type-2 Kiryu join the roster, extending the set of mechanical and cybernetic kaiju.
Heisei Mothra and Heisei Rodan
Heisei Mothra and Heisei Rodan add flying kaiju to the mod's monster set.
