MonsterCore

by Goetic

MonsterCore adds collectible monster cores to Forge 1.20.1, with randomized loot and a currency tied to the TavernTokens tag.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Monster cores drop from hostile mobs and carry rewards chosen by a loot system that includes special items. Each core that a player collects shows a personal message, and rare legendary drops trigger a broadcast to every player on the server. Drop chances are set in the monstercore-common.toml file, so a server owner can tune how often cores appear to fit a modpack.

The Class Core item can act as a wallet currency, because it is registered under the taverntokens:valid_currency item tag. TavernTokens is therefore a required companion for that use, and the two work together without extra setup. Mod Menu integration gives an interface with a toggle for the rare legendary messages, opened by pressing M by default.

The mod targets Forge 1.20.1 only, and the latest Forge file is 0.0.2, published 2025-04-28. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The source code and issue tracker are public, but the code is under All rights reserved and the project is not open source.

Key features

  1. Collectible monster cores

    Hostile mobs drop monster cores that players gather as collectibles, adding a reward loop to combat.

  2. Randomized loot

    Each core rolls from a loot table with randomized rewards, including a special item category.

  3. Configurable drop chances

    Drop rates are set in monstercore-common.toml, so the balance can be changed per server or modpack.

  4. Legendary broadcasts

    Legendary drops send a message to all players, while rare legendary messages can be switched off from the interface.

Questions

Does MonsterCore need TavernTokens?

TavernTokens is not required for the core loot to work, but the Class Core currency uses the taverntokens:valid_currency item tag and works with it installed.

Which loader does MonsterCore support?

Only Forge is listed, for Minecraft 1.20.1. A Fabric build is mentioned as a future possibility in the author notes, but no Fabric files are published.

Does MonsterCore have to be installed on both sides?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.
