Sinister souls
by Narry_games
Sinister souls, by Narry_games, adds weapons, mobs and mineral blocks for Forge 1.20.1, with several features still described as work in progress.
What it does
Sinister souls adds a set of hostile mobs such as Goner, Ghouls, Crawlers, Pebblings, Cyboro and Constructs, along with a boss. Its weapon selection includes the Goner sword, a Ghoul knife, dynamite and several other hand-held items meant to make combat more challenging. Structures such as eldritch shrines, battle shrines and crates generate in the world, and a drill block mines ores without breaking the blocks around them. Some ores have unique uses of their own.
The mod is described by its author as the first Minecraft mod they made for Forge and as still work in progress, with more content, including additional structures, promised for later updates. It requires Curios API and Geckolib, both of which must be installed next to it. Sinister souls runs on client and server and is published only for Forge 1.20.1, with version 1.0.0 as the latest file from 2024-11-25. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Trash Can is a Forge 1.20.1 mod that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Undertale Soul Weapons is also Forge 1.20.1, client and server, but it is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is not open source. Ability Weapon is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is client-side only, so servers do not need it.
