Swal
by swalapot
Swal, a Forge mod by swalapot built with MCreator, adds some new mobs, armors and items, plus a mix of miscellaneous additions.
What it does
Swal adds a set of new mobs, new armor pieces and new items to the game, along with assorted miscellaneous content. The author describes it as a general-purpose addition, and the content leans toward gear and creatures that a player can encounter and collect during play.
The mod needs GeckoLib, which must be installed alongside it for its animated entities to work. Some recipes call for items from JEI, so players who want to look up crafting paths may find JEI useful too. Swal is published for Forge only, with files for 1.18.2, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1, released on 2024-02-11. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so a client or a server can use it without requiring the other.
Swal is distributed under All rights reserved and is not open source. Public links to its source code and issue tracker are available.
Key features
New mobs
Several new creatures are added to the world, each one spawning in the game as its own entity.
Armor and items
New armor pieces and items are added, giving players extra equipment to craft or find.
Miscellaneous additions
A collection of smaller additions rounds out the mod, covering a range of unrelated features.
Crafting support
Some recipes use items that are easiest to browse with JEI, so the mod pairs well with an item viewer.

Exploring new creatures
Players who explore the world can meet the added mobs and gather the new armor and items they carry or drop.
Extending a Forge modpack
Modpack builders can add Swal to a Forge 1.20.1 pack for extra mobs and gear, provided GeckoLib is included too.
Who it’s for: Players who want extra mobs, armor and items on Forge 1.20.1 will find Swal relevant, as will modpack builders looking for a small content mod that needs GeckoLib.
