J&B Creatures
by Jest_Bens
J&B Creatures adds eight unique mobs, including two bosses, along with four weapons, three armor sets, two potions, four structures and 17 achievements for Forge on 1.20.1.
What it does
Players who explore the world meet eight mobs the mod introduces, two of them bosses. Four structures place the new creatures in the world, and the four weapons and three armor sets give players gear to fight with and wear. Two potions and a unique accessory round out the additions, and 17 achievements track progress through the content.
The mod requires Geckolib, which supplies the animation system behind its creatures. Embeddium is optional and can be added for rendering support. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Its latest Forge build is 0.5 for 1.20.1, released on 2024-05-06 on the beta channel, and the code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is not open source.
