Vruys Sussy Hard Insects
Vruys Sussy Hard Insects adds hostile ant and firefly mobs, including a boss, that make a survival world more challenging for players.
What it does
Basic and advanced ants and flies come in many variations, and the mod's ants are tuned to be dangerous rather than simply numerous. Basic ants carry 100 health and do 1 point of damage, whereas advanced ants apply blindness, darkness and a speed boost to whichever player they strike, and the fastest ants push targets back harder than standard ones.
Fire ants and fireflies are adapted to four Nether biomes. The Wastes Fire Ant spawns with the Nether Wastes, the Crimson Fire Ant with Crimson Forests, the Warped Fire Ant with Warped Forests, the Basalt Fire Ant with Basalt Deltas and the Soul Fire Ant with Soul Sand Valley, and matching fireflies share those surroundings. The mod was built with MCreator for the author's own Ohiocraft survival world and modpack, and the author recommends playing with hitboxes turned off.
The mod runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 only, with the 1.0.0 file published on 2024-04-16, and both the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
