Aurelius
by Drakhis
Aurelius is a Fabric utility mod for 1.21.1 that adds quality-of-life changes to vanilla, with copper, iron, golden and netherite horse armor and a rotten flesh golem.
What it does
Several blocks and items that are normally finite in vanilla become renewable, and a set of quality-of-life tweaks reduces the number of repetitive actions a player has to take. Some features are backports of content that vanilla does not yet include, along with a few new recipes that fit the existing item set.
Copper tools and copper armor sit alongside a horse armor set made from copper, iron, golden and netherite. Pets keep their health when hit by their owner's actions and can respawn after the owner sleeps. Both behaviors are configurable through commands. The rotten flesh golem is built from rotten flesh blocks, a crimson heart and a bone block, and it is summoned using a boosted crimson heart to give it more health.
Both the server and every player need the mod, because it runs on client and server. Aurelius is published only for Fabric, with a single game version, 1.21.1, and its latest file is 1.2.0, dated 2025-12-27. The code is licensed All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
