NeoForgeClient and serverCustom license1.21.1

What it does

The Hilichurl Fighter is a club-wielding variant of the Hilichurl family. It uses several attack styles, and a Leader has a chance to spawn and establish camps. The Ruin Guard is a massive ancient mechanical defender that switches between active and sleeping states depending on how it is approached, and it generates in the world.

The mod also adds four slime types and a set of ambient birds. Hydro Slimes spawn only in aquatic areas and can slide across water, Pyro Slimes are immune to fire and live in lava, Cryo Slimes appear in colder biomes, and Anemo Slimes perform aerial dash attacks. Geo Slimes are sturdier and carry natural armor. Birds come in four visual variants and fly to a new landing spot when approached too closely.

Hoyocraft needs Geckolib and is published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.1. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The latest file is 1.0.0.03, marked alpha.
