Spirits Of The Wendigo

by felicdacat

Spirits Of The Wendigo adds a Wendigo creature to the Forge 1.20.1 world, and its spawns are rare in taiga forests.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

The Wendigo spawns rarely in taiga forests, and a cabin structure can generate there as well. Its model animations are scheduled for a slight update. The Wendigo breaks leaves and fences while chasing the player, so a base needs its fences kept away from the forest edge, and a player is safer locked indoors at night when the creature hunts.

Installation requires Geckolib. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with version 1.0.0 dated 2026-07-10 as the latest file, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source. The author describes the mod as a first finished release with sound effects credited to others.

What the author says

An update is planned somewhere soon that slightly updates the wendigo model and it's animations because they're kinda bad, they were slightly rushed to be honest. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This mod adds The Wendigo to your world, as well as adding…
