The Bob Mod
by AirArcher
With The Bob Mod installed, a server gains a set of silly mobs built around a central character named Bob, and players who reach the Ancient Ruin structure can start a chain of progression steps.
What it does
The mod adds a large group of comical mobs, with Bob as the central character. Several enemy types are included, and the content is aimed at fun more than at survival balance. Textures and models have been polished in this release, and a set of bugs found in earlier builds has been fixed.
Access to the wider content starts in the Ancient Ruin structure, where a strange vessel can be found and sheared to revive Mega Bob. Right-clicking Mega Bob with cobblestone turns Bob back into cobblestone, and right-clicking Bob with other items produces further results. A Grim Toy Factory, a known factory in the mod, is part of the progression, and a new Grim Toy Factory option is listed as planned.
Files are published only for NeoForge. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and the server owner is the one who adds it. Builds exist for 1.21.1, 1.21.2, 1.21.3 and 1.21.4, and the latest file is 0.5.1 for 1.21.4, a beta-channel release from 2025-01-30. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
