Marvel Legacy
Marvel Legacy is a NeoForge equipment mod that lets players suit up as characters from the Marvel comics, films and games.
What it does
The mod brings suits, powers and items based on Marvel heroes and villains into Minecraft. Players can gain powers through several origins, craft a growing list of character suits with alternate costumes, and collect rare collectables that pay homage to the Marvel Universe. Its stated goal is to adapt the setting faithfully to Minecraft visuals.
Adventure play is covered by new biomes, structures and dimensions, along with new enemies and threats that present different challenges. The mod requires Curios API and playerAnimator, which must be installed alongside it. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1, and the latest is 1.1.1-alpha, released 2026-08-31 on the alpha channel. The code is not open source, and the mod is released under All rights reserved.
The project is in early alpha, so many features from the full plan are not yet implemented and bugs are likely. A listing of what is already in the mod is included in the project notes. The author has stated that backports and forward ports to other versions will not be made unless there is enough demand.
