Heroes Reborn
by HeyItzZedd
Heroes Reborn is a Forge magic mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that recreates the Heroes Expansion content through a serum-based progression path.
What it does
Players start by filling an Empty Serum from a water source, then craft a Centrifuge from quartz and glass panes and place the water serum into it with Aetheron as the second input. Coal fuels the machine through its left-hand GUI slot. After a processing period the Centrifuge produces an Irradiated Serum, which is fed back in with an Enchanted Golden Apple to mix a Super Serum.
Later stages use the Genesis Engine, which is built from a Genesis Core. The engine has two fuel inputs that take Ender Pearls and two inputs where the Super Serum and its ingredient go. The author describes it as the end-game portion of the mod and recommends placing it far from the base, with JEI for recipe lookups. The mod is a port of the Lucraft Heroes Expansion content, rebuilt under its own name.
Heroes Reborn runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, and the mod is released under the Apache License 2.0 without being open source.
