What it does

Ancient Amber is a material mod built around amber, which players find through ore generation in the world as they explore. Amber is used for a set of weapons and tools. The author describes it as a material mod with a loose mix of unrelated items, and says more materials will be added in later updates, with the material list expanded over time.

The first release also includes two smaller additions. Players can get a cheese item by using a crafting bucket of milk and a milk bottle, and the cheese can be brewed into a melty cheese food. A skull mask can be crafted from two strings and a skeleton skull. The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1, with the latest file, 1.0.0, published on 2025-07-18. Both the server and each player need it, and it is released under the MIT License without being open source.

Key features

  1. Amber ore generation

    Amber ore is placed in the world, giving players a resource to find while they explore.

  2. Amber weapons and tools

    Amber is the base material for a longsword, a greataxe, a pickaxe and a bow.

  3. Cheese and melty cheese

    A milk bottle and a crafting bucket of milk make cheese, which can be brewed into a melty cheese food.

  4. Skull mask

    A wearable skull mask is crafted from two strings and a skeleton skull.
