Withering Wanderers
by PartyFrog_1
Withering Wanderers adds a Nether mob called the Withered Strider, new wither-themed tools and blocks, and new uses for soul sand and glow berries, for players of Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1 on Forge.
What it does
The mod adds a new Nether mob, the Withered Strider. It roams the Nether with more health than usual and deals less damage per hit. Groups of these mobs spawn inside the Basalt Delta, the Warped Forest and the Nether Wastes. Defeating them drops a Wither Fragment, which can be combined with soul sand to create new items.
Glow berries gain new uses in the Overworld. An Infected Glob, caused by glow berries, creates two new blocks and a new bow. That bow has three times the durability of a normal bow, which has 425. The soul essence crafted from the drops grants Withered Soul Tools, which lets the mod extend the Nether with more tools, mobs and decorative blocks.
The mod is built for Minecraft 1.21 and works on 1.21.1 as well. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Forge is the only loader supported, and the latest file is 0.0.21 for 1.21, dated 2026-05-10. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
