The Songuses
by Gato_Pelon
The Songuses is a NeoForge Cursed mod for 1.21.8 that adds a set of odd creatures, two structures and a few weapons and tools.
What it does
Songus, the Among Us-style character the mod is named for, appears as a creature players can meet, and the mod also introduces a flying robot called Rocketeer that fires rockets and a turret robot called Bastion that fires at close range. The content is deliberately strange, with pretty weird stuff and some strong items mixed in.
Two generated structures hold these creatures. The Red Tower contains three Songus and three Rocketeers, and the Bastion Cage contains a Bastion. Crafting recipes for the Songus Sword, the Bastion Sword and the Pickaxe of the mod are part of the package, and the Songus Sword is built from a stick and Songus Cores placed in the crafting grid.
Installation runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, for 1.21.8, and the latest is 2.0.0, released on 2026-04-11. The mod is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source.
