Inhabitants
by Team Synapse
Inhabitants adds new mob species to the game, each with its own behavior, abilities and interactions with players and the world.
What it does
Bogres live in mangrove swamp biomes and mostly avoid company. Players can serve a Bogre a set of ingredients to get a strange dish, and the effect of the food depends on which ingredients were used, so a meal can help with different situations. Bogres also carve bones, and placing three bone blocks in a row in front of one yields a giant bone club that is heavy to wield, so players often pair it with a potion of strength.
Impalers are spiky creatures that hunt underground, below deepslate. They run very fast when they see players at a distance and can scream to bring down nearby stalactites. Their spikes do not stay long after they are hit, but defeating one gives spikes that can be crafted into concussive arrows and handheld drills. Explorers can find four visual types of Impaler. Clams from the End are peaceful and immobile, and stepping on one launches the player into the air, which pairs well with Elytra. Clams occasionally grow Ender Pearls.
Inhabitants is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1 alone, with 1.2.0-mc1.20.1 as the latest file, released on 2026-06-30. The mod was first published on 2026-01-19 and last updated on the same date as the latest file.
