Potato Heroes
by Emoflix
Potato Heroes gives players superhero-themed alternate forms, a ring-activated weapon set and a Green Lantern style weapon switch, all installed as a Magic-category add-on for 1.20.1.
What it does
The mod adds alternate forms modeled on DC characters, including Superman, Superboy, Martian Manhunter, Shazam, Black Adam and The Flash, along with Reverse Flash and Black Flash variants. Each form is a separate alt that a player switches into, so one character can take on several different powers and looks.
A ring activates the weapon system, after which a player scrolls a number to switch between weapons, in the manner of a Green Lantern ring. A single button turns the ring off again. The mod runs on Fabric and Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 and needs the client and the server to both run it.
Potato Heroes requires Architectury API, Cloth Config API, Condensed Creative, Curios API, Geckolib, KubeJS, Moonlight Lib, Packet Fixer, Palladium, Pehkui and Rhino. The latest Fabric and Forge files are 1.2.0, published 2024-05-30, and the mod was first published 2024-05-21. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

How it compares
Reborn_Heroes and Dreyse Heroes both run on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 with the client and server environment, and both are released under All rights reserved, as Potato Heroes is. Black Adam is a different kind of mod: it covers Fabric, Forge and Quilt for 1.19 – 1.20.1, is server required with the client optional, and is released under the Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0 license.

What the author says
After activating the ring to activate the weapons in the green lantern, you can switch between weapons by scrolling the number 1 button after activating the ring or you can turn it off. The Addon is still in beta phase, if there is a problem or something you want me to add, you can contact me via discord.
