Iron's Apothic Invaders
by Raimu
Iron's Apothic Invaders adds spellcasting mobs from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks to the invader encounters of the Apotheosis mod on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
Invaders are groups of hostile mobs that appear in the world under Apotheosis. This add-on fills that pool with magical mobs from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, so casters can show up as invaders alongside the existing ones. Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks must be installed, because the mobs and their spells come from it.
The additions include a Magehunter Vindicator, a Necromancer in a stronger variant, a Magehunter Vindicator stronger variant, and a Citadel Keeper, an ancient knight boss. The mod also works with datapacks and includes a setting for disabling glowing invaders. Some of the magical mobs can spawn without a texture, which the author lists as a known problem still under work.
The package is a NeoForge build for 1.21.1 only, installed on the client and on the server. It is released under the MIT License, and it is not open source.
