Rot Pig
by AnooshMods
Rot Pig adds hostile pigs that appear at night, along with bone weapons and loot for players who survive them.
What it does
When night falls, some pigs transform into Rot Pigs, which can kill a player in one hit. Players defend their base through the night, craft crude weapons from the Rot Pig Bone, and wait for dawn. Rot Pigs drop Rotten Flesh and, less often, a unique Rot Pig Bone, so the riskier fights also return the better loot.
The mod is aimed at the early game, when a player has few resources and needs a weapon fast. Bone weapons are crude but usable against Rot Pigs during dangerous early nights. The mod needs GeckoLib, which must be installed alongside it, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 and 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest files. The environment is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source.
Key features
Night-time pig transformation

Rot Pig Bone
A rare drop from Rot Pigs that serves as the material for crafting bone weapons.
Bone weapons
Crude melee weapons made from Rot Pig Bone give players an early way to fight back.
Rotten Flesh drops

Use cases
Early-game survival
Players in the first nights of a world can build a base defense from bone weapons and hold out until dawn.
Risk-based loot hunting
Players who want higher-value drops can take on Rot Pigs on purpose, accepting the danger for the chance at a Rot Pig Bone.
Who it’s for: Players who want a harsher early game with hostile night mobs, and server owners who run survival worlds where the danger should carry a reward.
How it compares
Rot Pig uses Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 and needs GeckoLib. LiemsCraft is client-side only, so only the client needs it, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, which is not open source. DEADLY pig mod is Forge only, for 1.20.1, and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 without being open source.
