Myths & Legends
by oVinter
Myths & Legends adds dark fantasy creatures, structures and relics to Minecraft Java Edition, drawn from folklore from several regions of the world.
What it does
The mod introduces an Imp, Possessed Armor in Knight, Archer and Inquisitor forms, and a set of other folklore creatures. Each one carries its own abilities and mechanics, and the content is meant to add a darker layer of exploration and danger to a world.
Items cover armor sets such as Ironshade, Soulpiercer and Frosthowl, weapons and shields including the Gargoyle Axe and Stony Shield, and crafting materials like the Bound Soul Ingot, Ethereal Flame and Core of Abaddon. Required dependencies are Curios API, Geckolib and TerraBlender, and Better Combat and Just Enough Items (JEI) are optional additions. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.4, and both the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
