Mythical Monsters
by I_Aint_Real
Mythical Monsters adds five new mobs to Forge 1.20.1 worlds, each with unique drops that feed into new equipment.
What it does
The mod's bosses include Slyvester Cyclops, which spawns at low chance in plains biomes and can be summoned with a Cyclopes Lure. Its ground pound attack hits a wide area for heavy damage, and its defeat drops Sylvester's Horn, which becomes a Cyclops Scimitar after crafting. Omnipotent Celestial spawns on End islands, where it can be fought alongside the Ender Dragon; it fires a long ranged attack that deals large damage in a small area, and after it has been hit three times it summons smaller, weaker eyes.
Each mob works as a separate encounter with its own drops, so the mod suits players who want new fights and gear in a survival or adventure world. The mobs and their drops are the core of the mod, and nothing else in the catalog is required to run it. Files exist for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.1.0 as the latest build, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Key features
Five new mobs
The mod adds five mobs, each with its own behavior and drops, rather than reskinning existing creatures.
Cyclops summoning
Slyvester Cyclops spawns rarely in plains biomes, and a Cyclopes Lure can summon it on demand.
Cyclops ground pound
The ground pound attack damages a wide area, making the fight dangerous when several players are close together.
Celestial eyes
Omnipotent Celestial summons smaller, weaker eyes after it takes three hits, changing the pace of the battle.
