This Minecraft mod adds hydras, gorgons, death worms, and trained dragons
https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/this-minecraft-mod-adds-hydras-gorgons-death-worms-and-trained-dragons/
It's always exciting when Mojang adds new mob types to Minecraft. We've seen the recent additions of the axolotl, glow squids, and mountain goats, with more sinister creatures like the blind warden coming in the second part of the Caves and Cliffs update.
If Mojang's 50+ mobs aren't enough for you, then look no further than Raptorfarian and Alexthe666's Ice and Fire: Dragons, a mod that adds a whole load of fantasy creatures into the base game. What originally started out as a project to add more dragons into the game back in 2017 has developed into a whole bestiary of monsters. The list is huge, including the likes of hippogryphs, gorgons, dread liches, sea serpents, hydras, pixies, cyclopes, trolls, death worms, and ghosts.

Rainbow Six total conversion mod pulls 56 missions together into one huge campaign

Before it became a major esports franchise, Rainbow Six was a tactical shooter series about a team of elite international operatives who battle dangerous terrorists around the world—basically GI Joe for people who want to be taken seriously by their spouses and co-workers.
It's been awhile since we've had a new game in that style—Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 in 2008, I believe—but the contents of seven past Rainbow Six releases, adding up to a whopping 56 missions in total, are now available in a single package called Rainbow Six: Black Ops 2.0, a total conversion mod for Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear.

Back in July 2021, we shared some new screenshots from the upcoming fan remake of Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness in Unreal Engine 4. And yesterday, FreakRaider and Konrad Majewski shared a new WIP video from it.
This video showcases some gameplay mechanics, as well as some of Lara’s new moves and animations.

As such, Lara will be more flexible and the game will – hopefully – has fewer bugs than its original version.
