Lycanthropes
by Areguz2525
Lycanthropes turns hunters and villagers into werewolf-themed players, with werewolves to fight, fur to gather and armor to craft.
What it does
Lycanthropes is a werewolf-based origin mod for Forge and NeoForge that adds a werewolf alternative to the usual character path. Hunters track werewolves across the world, and the fur they collect can be turned into wool or leather, which opens access to a set of strengths tied to the transformation. Seven werewolf variants can be transformed into by using the werewolf armor, and the armor piece can be dyed in different colors so each player can choose a look.
The mod is mostly focused on cosmetic items and leaves room for players to shape their own story. Silver materials give tools, armor and blocks that suit the hunt, and sixteen humans trade with players, with most of them changing into werewolves when provoked at night. Six new structures of small and medium size hold loot, and new paintings in the world offer hints about the mod.
Lycanthropes runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds are published for Forge and NeoForge across five release versions, 1.19.4 – 1.21.8, and the code is under the MIT License, which is not open source.
