About this Mod

Bring Back the Forgotten!

Ever wondered what Minecraft would look like if your favorite mob vote candidates had actually won? With Fotgotten Friends, you don’t have to wonder anymore! This mod adds a collection of iconic, fan-favorite mobs that never made it into the game — until now. Though, there are slight differences and original content that were not mentioned in the mob votes.

Needs "Kleiders Custom Renderer API" to run. Will crash in some cases without it.
