Lycanites Mobs

Versions 1.16.5 and below require Forge whereas versions 1.20.1 and above may support other versions!

I have looked into Fabric but I'd have to rebuild the entire mod, and Forge is still going strong and is still the king of modded Minecraft with no signs of stopping. Be sure to support the Forge devs, as without them there would be no mods like there are today. Fabric is cool, but I have no plans to make a Fabric version for now. However, this mod is open source, so anyone is welcome to take up the challenge!

1.19+ is currently in development. This mod is 8+ years old, and so I am doing a complete code rewrite as a new mod to be called Schism to clear the technical debt!

This mod adds over 100 new mobs to specific biomes, dimensions, and more. These mobs range from peaceful Makas, farmable mammal-like reptiles with massive sails, to horrific Grues that are made of the very shadows themselves. Watch out for the alphas! Expect to see angry elementals such as Cinders spawning from large fires or Spriggans from tall grass and crops.

Featuring a Beastiary, Taming and Summoning

You can tame your very own mount such as a Warg and bind it to you with a Soulstone, allowing you to summon and dismiss it at will as well as have it respawn after death. Or perhaps you'd be more interested in crafting a Summoning Staff or Summoning Pedestal to summon your very own minion horde, either on the field of battle or at your base to stand guard while you are away or resting.

Forge Powerful Equipment from Body Parts!

Lycanites Mobs now has an Equipment System. Creatures will sometimes drop Equipment Parts, which can then be assembled in an Equipment Forge to create powerful tools and weapons that look weird and wonderful depending on what you mix together!

Massive Randomised Dungeon System

Lycanites Mobs also includes a Dungeon System, which is super configurable via JSON files where custom dungeons can be added and existing dungeons can be completely changed. Dungeons can be very challenging with a boss on each floor, but offer grand rewards! You can also create your own custom dungeons via the dungeon configs.

Colossal Final Bosses and Random Events

This mod also adds optional special events, which can be turned on via the config or using the command /lm mobevents enable. These events will start at random intervals, which are highly configurable, and will spawn waves of mobs!

This mod also adds giant bosses like Rahovart, Asmodeus, and Amalgalich, which must be summoned by building an altar and using a Soul Key to activate a Boss Event.

Boss Event

Full Customisation of Mobs, Spawners, Items, Dungeons, Events and More!

Lycanites Mobs comes with a heavily customisable JSON Spawner System where you have absolute control over how every mob spawns, and you can even control the spawn of mobs from other mods or vanilla if desired.

Want Blocky Models?

Check Out The Lycanites Mobs Redux Resource Pack

I quickly moved away from designing block mob models similar to vanilla style because I personally just hate it and love creating smooth models in Blender with a slight retro feel to their textures. However, these are my personal tastes, so I have added support for the mod to load mob models via Resource Packs, restart required currently.

There is a fantastic Resource Pack for Lycanites Mobs by Spooky_Indominus and many other talented 3D artists called Lycanites Mobs Redux, which covers just about every single mob in a blocky style akin to vanilla Minecraft!

Special Thanks

I'd like to say a special thanks to everyone who has downloaded and enjoyed this mod. Every download that goes through Curse, both direct and through packs, helps support me in taking time to work on this mod. What truly motivates me the most is hearing and seeing people enjoy my hard work through YouTube, Twitch, and more. There is always much more to come!

A big thanks also goes to translators like Nacho21, who helped bring Lycanites Mobs to Spanish. I'd also like to give a special thanks to all those who have donated, and be sure to contact me for your very own Familiar Minion.

Mod Packs

Feel free to include this mod in your public or private mod pack! I strongly believe that all mods should be allowed in public packs, as sharing should be in the spirit of the Minecraft community. Don't worry about providing credit or site links anymore, as the Beastiary in-game does this.
