BAFF
by Akerzay
BAFF adds Akarium, a vanilla-styled tool and armor tier for Forge 1.20.1, along with a hidden structure found in villages.
What it does
Akarium tools and armor sit in the same progression as vanilla gear, so they can be crafted and worn like the standard materials. The mod is installed on the client and the server, and both sides need it. Files are published for Forge only, for game version 1.20.1, and the latest build is 1.5, dated 2026-01-23. The code is covered by All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Akarium tool tier
Pickaxes, axes, swords and other tools made from Akarium are added alongside the vanilla materials.
Akarium armor set
A full set of Akarium armor pieces gives players a new protection option in the same style as vanilla armor.
Hidden village structure
A structure with blue roofs and windows generates in some villages, giving players a place to explore.
