by LunkoAshtail

The Galaxy Comes Alive, formerly the Avali Project, adds playable alien anthropomorphic species and their mobs to the overworld, with NeoForge files for 1.21.1.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

Each species is a playable race with custom models and animations, and players can switch between them. Avali, Sergal and Protogen are the starting species, with more variants such as Manokit, Felkin, Wickerbeast and Yinglet planned. Species-specific mobs are placed in the overworld and are meant to make it feel more alive, with their own lore and culture.

Because the code is published under the MIT License, contributors can submit models, textures, code or design ideas. Geckolib is required, and Curios API, Just Enough Items (JEI) and Neo Origins are optional. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Planned integration with Origins powers and TerraBlender biomes is listed as future work.

Questions

Does The Galaxy Comes Alive need Geckolib?

Yes. Geckolib is a required dependency, so it must be installed next to the mod on NeoForge 1.21.1.

Do players and the server both need the mod?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

Is the Origins integration already working?

Not yet. Full compatibility with Origins powers is listed as future work, while Neo Origins is an optional dependency.
