Luminous: Beasts
by RipleysMods
Luminous: Beasts brings 26 rare legendary beast variants into the Luminous world, fought as tough bosses that drop trophies, music discs and new loot.
What it does
The mod spawns its beasts in matching biomes: a Tree Ent in forests, Mummies and Red Mummies in deserts, Sea Vipers in badlands and Coral Sea Vipers in cold oceans, Yetis and Arid Yetis in snowy areas, and Vile and Frigid Gators in savannahs and swamps. Phoenixes, Bone Stalkers, Spitters, and Piglin and Basalt Executioners fill out the forests, peaks and Nether biomes. Each creature has a fixed health pool, from 110 to 180 HP, so fights scale by type.
The beasts are built to be found and fought, and the drops from them include trophies, music discs and new loot. The Beasts version keeps the original Luminous mod without the other vanilla enhancements. The mod needs GeckoLib, which must be installed on the same loader and game version. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, 1.20.4 and 1.21.1, under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
26 legendary beast variants
Rare variants are added to the Luminous world, including eight legendary beasts that stand out from the regular creatures.
Biome-bound spawns
Each beast appears in a specific biome, such as a Tree Ent in forests or a golden variant in beach areas.
Tough encounters
Creatures carry health values from 110 to 180 HP, so the fights are longer and harder than ordinary mob encounters.
Trophies, discs and loot
Defeated beasts leave trophies, music discs and new loot for players to collect.
