Somatogenesis
by gdpulsar
Somatogenesis is a Fabric magic mod, built on Architectury API and Trinkets, where the player creates and reshapes creatures by working on the body.
What it does
Somatogenesis centers on creating creatures and modifying their bodies. Its progression tree has five phases, and its materials are biological: flesh, muscle and organs. Blood-powered blocks connect through vessels, forming a system that feeds the magic. The author describes the design as inspired by Blood Magic and Stranger Things.
Creatures built with the mod can be given a wide set of traits and set to carry out orders. The mod also includes an ability to turn a base creature into a gigantic one. Methods for altering the body are sorted into groups, so a player can follow one line of changes through the tree. Architectury API and Trinkets are required, and the mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric, for 1.20.1 only, with 0.1.1 as the latest alpha build.
