The Shadow of The World
by BackStudio
Players who explore darker corners of the world find new content in The Shadow of The World, which adds creepy items, mobs, blocks and biomes for Forge.
What it does
Hunting for things in the dark, new biomes and structures are added, including a dark oak forest in the deep dark and Lost Shadow mobs that drop Void Shards. The Void Shard is one of the new items, and the content as a whole leans toward an unsettling, eerie mood rather than survival tools. Geckolib is required, so it must be installed alongside the mod or the game will not load it.
Installation is on Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and the client and server must both run it, so every player on a server needs the mod as well. The latest Forge file is 3.0.0 for 1.20.1, released 2024-05-01 on the beta channel. The mod was first published on 2024-01-19 and is released under All rights reserved; it is not open source.

How it compares
Shadow Mob in Minecraft is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server and is released under All rights reserved, so it covers similar ground. ModMcraft is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 with client and server environment, released under the MIT License, so its license differs from this mod's. More Forests is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is client-side only, so players need it but servers do not, and it is released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0.
