Kaiju-Craft
by SenpaiTeddy
Kaiju-Craft, by SenpaiTeddy, brings Kaiju No. 8 themed combat and creatures into Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge.
What it does
The mod is based on the anime and manga series Kaiju No. 8, and it carries key features of that series into Minecraft. Its content covers Defense Force equipment, a Mushroom Kaiju mob inspired by the creatures of the series, and movement and combat mechanics with custom animations. Kaiju-Craft is an early version of the mod, and the author notes that more Kaiju abilities and story elements are planned for future updates.
Installing the mod requires Better Combat, Geckolib, Kleiders Custom Renderer API and Pehkui, all of which must be present on Forge 1.20.1. Kaiju-Craft runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It was first published on 2025-04-21, and its only Forge file, 1.0.0 for 1.20.1, is the same build as the last update. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Defense Force equipment
Custom-modeled weapons and armor based on the Defense Force gear of the series, for players who want to fight Kaiju threats.

Quick movement and dodging
