RandMod
by Endrix
RandMod adds a Forge mod of mobs, furniture, weapons and decorations for Minecraft 1.16.5, including a mini-miner companion that finds iron and other minerals.
What it does
Variety is the core of the mod. It brings new mobs, furniture, weapons and decorative objects into a 1.16.5 world, and the content is meant to be unpredictable from one session to the next. Among the additions are a Nezerite shield, a cabinet, a figurine of a skeleton and a number of small decorative objects. Players who want pieces to furnish a base will find a range of them here.
A mini-miner companion is one of the mod's signature mobs. Once it is recruited, it heads out to dig and returns with iron and other minerals, so players gather resources while doing other work. Some of the mobs are described by the author as bangs and surprises, which fits the mod's name. The mod is Forge only, with a single file, 0.0.3, published 2023-08-30 for 1.16.5.
The mod runs on a client and a server, so both sides need it installed. It is released under a custom license and is not open source. It has no required dependencies, so installing it on Forge is enough to run it.
