Horizon's Robots

by cybersaur

Horizon's Robots adds machine mobs inspired by the Horizon game series, with robots that hunt, graze, dig and fight in the world.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Players meet a range of robotic creatures modeled on the machines of the Horizon games. Small avian-like machines and horse-like robots roam in groups, a mink-like machine digs, and deer-like and dog-like machines graze or scrap unused metal. Each machine is placed in its own biome set, from deserts and jungles to plains, forests and hills.

The fight side leans on strategy. Machines carry diverse attacks, and several gadgets draw on the Elemental Canisters system, which can stun a target, raise the damage it takes, deal damage over time, or weaken its gear. Wires replace string in most recipes. The mod requires AAA Particles and Geckolib, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge on 1.20.1, with 1.5.3 as the latest, under All rights reserved (not open source).

What the author says

This mod adds Machines from the games Horizon: Zero Dawn, Forbidden West, and some of my own machine concepts into Minecraft. This mod is for those who want machines with diverse attacks that require more strategy than the average mob. Despite its Initial release, the mod still has bugs to fix and a lot more updates…
