Content from the famous Kdrama Squid Game but in Minecraft!
About this Mod
After many user requests, I am beginning to slowly migrate my past projects over to Modrinth from CurseForge where they've lived for years. This was one of my first mods I coded in high school for college apps!
For context, the following description is taken almost word for word from my original mod, during high school, when the Squid Game show was extremely popular and caused a social media craze.
Squid Game: The Mod

Derex again back with another mod!
Disclaimer: This is once again a hobby thing so please don't rush me or put pressure; I'm busy with school a ton too for a few months
Squid Game is a recent Kdrama (Korean Drama) series that skyrocketed to the top charts in days and I really recommend it (no spoilers rn hehe)
This mod aims to add content from that in the form of entities, items, structures, etc
Currently we have the varying types of guards in the Squid Game series such as the Squad Guard, Triangle Guard, and Circle Guard which drop "money" when defeated! In addition we have 2 new dungeons that spawn rarely based on rooms in the actual TV Show! Additionally we have some weapons straight from the game. Most cool is that we have the creepy doll from the "red light green light" game!
