Ruinous
by debigbos47
Ruinous, a Forge mod for 1.20.1 by debigbos47, adds two bosses, new mobs, new gear and structures to the Minecraft world, and needs Geckolib.
What it does
Cultist camps spawn naturally in the world and house the mod's aggressive mobs. A ritual can also summon the bosses, so players can choose when to fight them. The Mecha Croc, which breathes fire, and the Gladiator Piglin, which fights with a fireball attack, spawn naturally in crumbling wastelands. Mangrove swamps host a separate mob that stays passive until it is provoked and has a long attack range.
Ruinous is a Forge mod for the 1.20.1 build, and it requires Geckolib to run. Both the server and every player need the mod, so it has to be installed on each side. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its single file, 1.0.0, dates from 2025-04-28. Spawn eggs let players place the mobs directly, and the structures generate as part of normal world exploration.
Key features
Two bosses
Two bosses change behavior at half health, gaining new attacks in a second phase.

Death's curse and blessing
The boss drops an axe and applies a curse while players are nearby, and a bottle grants a blessing that boosts luck.

New mobs appear in mangrove swamps and crumbling wastelands, and new structures are added to the world.
