Shadow's of The Deep chapter one
Shadow's of The Deep chapter one is a NeoForge mob mod in which horrors inhabit dark caves and ocean depths, with a boss fight and new weapons and gear for players who survive them.
What it does
The mod adds hostile creatures that live in dark caves and the deep ocean. Cavecry is an invisible shadow that cannot be seen against the sky and hunts players who dig into caves, and it applies a darkness effect. Creeptus is a new creeper type that hides like a cactus, does not explode, and shoots thorns instead. Weather in the mod can turn stormy and change lighting quickly, which adds to the tension underground.
Angler is a large sea monster that can grab a player and drag them out of a boat. Its fangs can be collected and crafted into a sword, a necklace and blocks for building a ship. The endgame boss, the Kraken, needs the Criptid Finder Mk1 to be located and fights in three phases. Its prize bag contains a set of items, including a new food called Calamari. The mod includes a warning about flashing effects and darkness.
The mod runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.4 – 1.21.8 and must be installed on both the client and the server. Its files target 1.21.4 and 1.21.8, with 1.1.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest release, first published on 2025-06-08. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Read this card with the Mobs category in mind, where the mod sits next to Cursed and Transportation content.
