How do I install Hornets?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Hornets work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.20.1, 1.16.4, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Hornets

This mod was made for the 'Escape from 2020' modpack by Darkosto.

Hornets is a mod to add some hostile mobs to your world.

This is a mod based on my Wasps from the Erebus mod (Because I know you 'loved' them so much) :P

Hornets will cause poison damage scaled to your game difficulty.

Upon death; Hornets will have a chance to drop Darkosto's Birthday cake (because it is his birthday today btw).

There are settings available in the config for attacking other mobs, spawning rules, turning off the cake drop, and a dimension blacklist.

(Please note this mod is an early version and may be updated as the pack is tweaked)
