MetaGen
by Star_1mp
MetaGen is a 1.20.1 superhero mod for Fabric and Forge that lets players become heroes and explore a new superhero path in the world, built on the Palladium framework.
What it does
Players who want to take on a hero role can use MetaGen to become one, and the mod adds a Superheroes path that opens new progression in the world. Its powers and content run through the Palladium system, so the mod depends on several libraries to work.
Required dependencies are Curios API, Geckolib, KubeJS, Palladium, PantheonSent, Pehkui and Trinkets, and all of them must be installed alongside MetaGen. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Only 1.20.1 is supported, with Fabric and Forge files both at 1.0.5, updated on 2025-06-12. MetaGen is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Become a hero
Players can take on a hero identity and gain powers that follow the Superheroes path.
Superheroes world path
A new progression path centered on superheroes opens up as players advance through the mod.
Palladium addon content
The mod extends the Palladium system with addon content for players who want more hero options.
Curios accessory support
Hero-related equipment integrates with Curios, so accessories can occupy dedicated slots.

Use cases
Superhero roleplay on a server

Single-player hero runs
A player on a single-player world can work through the Superheroes path without any server setup.
Who it’s for: Players who want superhero powers and progression on Minecraft 1.20.1 and are willing to install the required libraries. Server owners running a hero-themed world can use it as well.
How it compares
EinsMensch_´s Hero Pack is also for 1.20.1 on Fabric and Forge, and is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source in the sense of this catalog. Agreeds Heros is a Forge-only addon under All rights reserved. Palladium Extras is a Forge-only addon, also under All rights reserved. MetaGen covers both Fabric and Forge, while those options are narrower in loader support.
