Nice Blockhead Mobs
by NiceRon
Nice Blockhead Mobs adds a set of small creatures and one miniblock-built boss to the Overworld and ocean biomes, and it needs a resource pack to display them.
What it does
Along beaches, a Hermit Crab turns up and leaves Pottery Sherds behind, while a penguin living on snowy, frozen terrain takes raw or bucketed fish and lays eggs in return. Some of these mobs defend themselves or attack hostile mobs near them, and others, such as a creature that swims in oceans and fights the same mobs as an axolotl, behave like their vanilla counterparts.
Two scarcer mobs stay tied to particular ground: soul sand valleys host a creature that can yield phantom membranes and occasionally an invisibility potion, and underground dungeon structures conceal another that releases redstone dust once defeated. The mod also adds a boss built from miniblocks, and hitting a witch inside an ocean temple starts that fight. Warm deep lukewarm oceans are added to the world, and the creature called Amemasu drops sponges, a heart of the sea or a trident, sometimes enchanted.
The mod runs on the server, and the server needs it installed, while players may add it to their clients. A resource pack is required to show the new mobs. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is open source. Its builds cover 1.21.3 – 1.21.4, and the latest file targets 1.21.4.

Use cases
Server with a PaperMC fork
On a PaperMC server or fork such as Purpur, the scoreboard option allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards must be set to true in the paper configuration, with the config files left as the mod expects, so everything works.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want extra mobs and a boss for survival or exploration worlds, and players who join a server that runs the mod.
