Ravenous Maw

by humanQuarry

Ravenous Maw has players raise a living monster that changes stage over time, and feeding it steadily turns it into an omni-tool.

What it does

Players tame the Maw and keep it fed. Each feeding is a meal called a Feast, and the Maw changes through four stages as it grows, with the Ender Dragon among the bosses a player must defeat to advance. Crafting at an apparatus can repair the Maw and restore it, provided the beast is kept alive.

The mod covers the whole progression: the Mutation Matrix block applies mutations to the Maw, a Mutation Codex records what has been discovered, and an in-game guidebook explains the rest. Ravenous Maw requires Patchouli, which provides the guidebook. The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 and is client-side only, so servers need nothing installed.

Key features

  1. Evolving companion

    The Maw changes over time, and feeding it steers which stage it reaches next.

  2. Feasts

    Several questionable food options called Feasts are used to nourish the Maw and drive its growth.

  3. Mutations

    Ten mutations grant unique abilities and instabilities, applied to the Maw through the Mutation Matrix block.

  4. Contaminated Core

    A crafting ingredient called the Contaminated Core is used in recipes tied to the Maw's progression.

What the author says

WARNING: THIS MOD REQUIRES PATCHOULI & NEOFORGE TO WORK. Ravenous Maw is a mod that allows you to tame a living monster that gradually mutates over time. If you can earn its obedience, it becomes a powerful omni-tool that can be shaped and enhanced through Feasts and Mutagens using the Mutation Matrix.
