Telos

by anmao

Telos is a NeoForge cursed-category mod that makes hostile creatures harder by changing their skills, strength, damage and the time of day.

NeoForgeClient and serverCreative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.01.21 – 26.3

What it does

Telos adds dozens of skills to hostile creatures, and the skill settings can be adjusted through datapacks. Its main features are a damage cap that limits how much harm creatures can deal relative to a player's maximum health, a Fighting Strength attribute that raises the base attributes of stronger creatures, and an Eternal Night feature that freezes game time in darkness. Nearby similar creatures give each other a gradual boost to movement speed and damage reduction.

Two active effects add pressure during fights. Every so often, the Fire Blast ability sends fireballs toward the player, and their explosions can break blocks in the surrounding terrain. Chaos Move periodically applies a confusion effect that makes the player move uncontrollably. Push Away knocks players back when they are within a set distance. The mod is built to raise the difficulty of Minecraft and runs on the client and the server, so both need it, with Cores required as a dependency. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source. Files are published for NeoForge across six release versions, 1.21 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Damage limitation

    Creature damage is capped at a set share of the player's maximum health, limiting how far a single hit can go.

  2. Skill system

    Dozens of skills are added to hostile creatures, with their values set through datapacks.

  3. Fighting strength

    Creatures with higher Fighting Strength receive higher base attributes, and the increase is configurable.

  4. Eternal night

    Game time is locked in darkness, and nearby similar creatures grow faster and hit harder as they gather.

  5. Fire Blast and Chaos Move

    Fireballs with explosions periodically strike the player, and a confusion effect periodically moves the player unpredictably.

Use cases

Harder survival play

Players who want Minecraft to feel more dangerous can use the damage cap, the skill system and the night-time pressure together.

Modpacks with tougher mobs

Pack makers can pair Telos with other mob changes and tune the skills through datapacks to match the intended difficulty.

Who it’s for: Players looking for a stronger challenge in survival worlds, and server owners who want hostile creatures to behave differently from vanilla. Both the server and each player need the mod to use its features.

Questions

Does Telos need Cores?

Yes. Cores is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Telos on NeoForge.

Do players need Telos on a server that runs it?

Yes. The server and every player need the mod installed.

Can the creature skills be changed?

Yes. The skills are adjusted through datapacks, which lets a world owner set the values without editing the mod's code.
