Mother of Worms
by AnooshMods
Mining dirt and grass blocks in Mother of Worms can bring up a Creepy Worm, and sometimes a far larger threat emerges from the earth.
What it does
Breaking a dirt or grass block has a chance to release a grotesque, aggressive Creepy Worm right at the spot. Those worms have been held quietly in the ground for centuries, and the mod treats disturbing them too often as a bad idea. Killing a Creepy Worm does not always end the encounter, and a fight can make the situation worse.
Occasionally the ground opens up and a Mother Worm rises out of it: a huge humanoid figure joined to a grotesque, segmented worm body. She shakes the ground, screams with rage and summons more worms. A longer fight draws in more worms, which can turn the surrounding area into a writhing nightmare of soil. Mother of Worms is built around fear and suspense while digging, so players think twice before breaking ground underfoot.
Mother of Worms requires Geckolib on Forge and is published for 1.20.1 only. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are released under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.

Mother Worm encounters
A large humanoid Mother Worm can emerge from the earth, with a monstrous worm body.

Lingering danger
Killing a Creepy Worm does not always end the threat, so an encounter can escalate after the first kill.
