The Beast OTGW
The Beast OTGW, a Forge mod for 1.20.1 by 8 Blind Dragons, adds beast mobs that spawn in the world, along with a few enchantments and a small set of commands for controlling spawn behavior.
What it does
The mod is based on work over Garden Wall and adds creatures that spawn naturally during play. The author notes that the spawn rate can be raised and that the spawn limit can be removed, which is handled through server commands. The content set is small: the project has one picture, three enchantments and a beast spawn, and the author describes it as a test project that is still in an early stage.
The mod needs Geckolib and playerAnimator to run, and Just Enough Items (JEI) is optional. It is a Client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Files exist for 1.20.1 only, the latest being 0.0.2, released on 2024-12-09 on the alpha channel. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Spawning beasts
Beast mobs appear in the world as part of the mod's core content, with spawn behavior adjustable through commands.
Enchantments
Three enchantments are added to the game, expanding the options for gear.
Spawn commands
Server commands can increase the spawn speed and remove the spawn limit, giving server owners control over how often beasts appear.
Early test build
The author describes the release as a small test project, so the content set is limited for now.
