Ender Zoology Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Dangerous Ender-Themed Creatures in the Overworld

Ender Zoology Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) brings a dark twist to Minecraft’s hostile mobs by introducing a range of dangerous, ender-inspired creatures that add real challenge to your survival adventures. Based on the original “Ender Zoo” mod, this complete remake doesn’t just tweak mob stats it revamps the overworld’s danger level with entirely new behaviors, attack mechanics, and unique loot drops. These aren’t just recolors or stat buffs; every creature has purpose, personality, and poses a real threat. Whether you’re fighting teleporting zombies or witches that unleash withering potions, this mod forces you to rethink your strategies after nightfall.

From brutal fallen knights that ride undead mounts to teleporting creepers that don’t destroy terrain but disorient you with sudden warps, Ender Zoology is not for the faint of heart. Fortunately, it’s not all doom and gloom some additions, like owls and potion brewing, bring balance to the brutality.

Features:

• Enderminy: A smaller but aggressive cousin of the Enderman. Chases concussion creepers and packs a serious punch when provoked.
• Concussion Creepers: Their explosions don’t damage terrain but instead teleport players unpredictably. Drops “Confusing Powder,” which is used to craft special charges TNT-like blocks with similar teleport effects.
• Fallen Knights: These undead warriors wield both melee and ranged weapons, making them lethal in combat. Some spawn mounted on beasts. Rare drops include the “Hunting Bow,” which supports both bow and crossbow enchantments like Piercing and Multishot.
• Fallen Mounts: Undead mounts used by Fallen Knights. Even after their rider dies, they’ll continue to hunt players. You can cure them (similar to zombie villagers) and tame them as mounts.
• Wither Witches: A corrupted variant of the vanilla witch, these enemies throw potions that inflict the Wither effect. They drop “Wither Powder,” which can be used to brew new Wither-themed potions.
• Wither Cats: Usually appear alongside Wither Witches. Initially cute in appearance, but deadly when approached.
• Infested Zombies: A hybrid between zombies and endermen. Can randomly teleport the player when they land a hit. Rarely drop enchanted books containing unique enchantments.
• Dire Wolves: Appear in snowy biomes. Easily mistaken for regular wolves but are extremely aggressive. Identifiable by their glowing red eyes.
• Owls: Neutral mobs found in forest biomes. Naturally hostile toward spiders. Their eggs can be used to brew the “Potion of Rising,” granting the Levitation effect.
• New Enchantment – Soulbound: Items with this enchantment stay in your inventory after death, though the enchantment may lose a level upon use.
