The Boys
by chappiepie
Players who want a superpower progression path can use The Boys, a Technology mod that lets a character become one of the Boys universe's figures, such as Homelander.
What it does
An ability synthesizer is the central workstation for creating superpowers. Players craft the components the synthesizer needs from the recipes listed in the mod, then insert items into it to apply the resulting vials to a character. Each vial gives a power inspired by a character from the series, so a character can take on a distinct identity over the course of play.
The item set starts with early-game pieces and is planned to grow over time, so new content is expected in later updates. Suit items are currently limited to Creative Mode, where a suit is equipped by right-clicking armor with the matching suit piece. Crafting suits is not finished yet, so survival players cannot obtain them at this stage.
Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 1.21.10. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
