Bestiario Arcano: Eight Creatures with Real Abilities
Bestiario Arcano adds eight new creatures to your world. Each one has its own abilities, weakness and habitat, and each drops a collectible when defeated. The mod adds no blocks, tools or weapons. It is a bestiary: the monsters are the whole point.
Forge 1.20.1 · Required on the server and on every client (same .jar) · No other mods needed
Language note: the mod includes language files for English and Spanish (Spain, Mexico, Argentina and Chile). The creature names are the same in every language. Item names and spawn-egg names are in Spanish in the game, so the drop table below lists the English meaning next to each one.

Finding and summoning them
- Spawn eggs are in the Bestiario Arcano creative tab.
- Summon any creature with a command, for example
/summon bestiario:graviton. Use the creature's name in lowercase. - Creatures also spawn naturally in their biomes, so they appear in new chunks of existing worlds.
Multiplayer
Install the mod on the server (or on the LAN host) and on every client, with the same Forge version.
Configuration
There is no config file.
Notes
- Only Forge and Minecraft are required. Nothing else.
- Languages: item names and spawn-egg names are in Spanish in the game, even with the English language setting.
