Hive

by davidqf555

Hive adds hostile droids that coordinate as a group, with a shared hive mind, smarter pathfinding and a boss dungeon planned.

What it does

Hive introduces a new hostile entity called the droid, which spawns naturally in the world. Droids move with more deliberate pathfinding than vanilla hostile mobs and aim their jumps with greater precision. The author describes the intent as a group that communicates and strategizes together to bring down a player, with the droids working from shared information rather than acting alone.

The mod is still in development, and the author lists further features that have not yet shipped, including a boss dungeon. Hive runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.4, and the current builds are 0.2.1 for each loader, released in the beta channel. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Hive mind droids

    Droids form a group that shares information, so several of them can pursue a player together.

  2. Smarter movement

    Droids use a pathfinding routine that positions them more accurately before a jump.

  3. Flight and block editing

    Droids can fly and place or break blocks, which lets them reach players that ground mobs would not.

  4. Boss dungeon

    A boss dungeon is listed among the planned features and has not been added yet.
