What it does

Horde Beacons start waves of enemies and reward participants with loot. The amount of loot depends on how many players take part and how many times each participant dies, so the challenge scales with group size and performance. The mod runs on client and server, and the code is open source under the MIT License, with builds for 1.21.1 and 1.21.8 on NeoForge.

Key features

  1. Horde Beacons

    Beacons placed in the world open a combat challenge intended for the mid to late stage of a survival world.

  2. Loot scaled to participation

    Rewards grow with the number of players involved and shrink for each time a participant dies.
