The Hordes
by crystalx0375
The Hordes adds timed invasion waves to the world, in which groups of monsters attack a player's base once the night falls.
What it does
Certain configurable days bring hordes of monsters that attack a base in waves when night falls, so a player's builds face a scheduled threat. The author removed some features of the original mod, such as the infection mechanic. The mod runs on Fabric and needs Fabric API. It is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Its files cover game versions 1.20 – 1.21.4, and the latest Fabric file is 1.3-1.21.1 for 1.21.1. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only and is open source.
Key features
Horde invasions
Groups of monsters arrive in the world as invasions, giving players a recurring threat to prepare for.
Scheduled attack days
Hordes attack on configurable days, and their waves start when night falls, so the timing can be set on the server.
Base attacks in waves
Monsters target a player's base in successive waves, which tests defenses built around the base.
