Goecia: Forgotten Rites
by suryamael
Goecia: Forgotten Rites is a Forge expansion for 1.20.1 that adds a dark fantasy biome, hostile demonic creatures and ancient structures to the world.
What it does
The mod builds a dark fantasy setting around exploration, atmosphere and progression. A custom biome, new ores and materials, decorative blocks, and weapons and armor sets sit alongside cursed environments where demonic creatures patrol. Ancient structures hold loot and rare materials, and many locations carry progression-related rewards for players who search them out.
Progression runs through the Core Life system. Players eventually reach three full health bars, a maximum of 60 health points. Some creatures appear in dimensional variants depending on where they spawn, and others guard structures in dangerous regions. The corruption mechanic adds a further threat to exploration.
The mod is built for players who want a more challenging, immersive survival experience. Its storytelling and visual identity draw on ancient civilizations and supernatural themes while keeping a vanilla-inspired style. Installation requires Terraforged, and the mod is released under the MIT License with a dependency on LGPL v3.0 Terraforged.
