Sentinel
Sentinel is a client-side Minecraft mod that adds dungeons, weapons, blocks, enchants and potion effects inspired by the roguelike genre and the Warden.
What it does
The mod's main goal is to add dungeons, weapons, blocks, enchantments and potions with a roguelike flavor. The author describes it as still in beta and under development, with content planned to be updated frequently. Bugs can be reported to the author so they can be fixed before the mod is considered finished.
Sentinel's current content centers on the Warden, with tools obtained by defeating it and used to upgrade netherite swords and axes. Sculk weapons such as the Sculk claymore and Sculk long-sword join the set, along with a Sculking potion effect. The author plans three categories in total, and only one is in place so far.
Sentinel requires Pehkui and runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1. Its files cover two release versions, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and it is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

How it compares
The Sculk Sword is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mod for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 that is client and server and under All rights reserved. Skulky is Fabric-only for 1.20.1 and is also client and server, under the MIT License. Sentinel is client-side only and covers two versions, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, so it is the only option here that needs no server install.
