Just More Races
Just More Races adds five playable races to a survival world, each with its own abilities and a different way to play.
What it does
A player picks one race when first entering a new world, and the race sets which abilities are available. Ghosts hunt in a dedicated mode and enter a shade mode, liches fire large magic fireballs at mobs, ghouls gain a swift mode that highlights nearby mobs, and the other races have their own abilities as well. Deep sea members can change the weather to gain a trident, and the races are built with underwater play in mind.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. The files are published for Forge and NeoForge, covering 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with the snapshot11 alpha builds dated 2026-04-01 as the latest. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
