Banish
by Geremilho
Banish sends a player to a separate dimension of dark forests, deserts and canyons, where the only way back is a key dropped by the local creatures.
What it does
Banish is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that replaces banning with exile: a banished player or friend is sent to a separate world rather than being kept off the server. The dimension is built from several biomes, and each one is reached through a route that depends on what the player collects there. Leaving the dimension requires an item dropped by a creature found inside it.
The mod runs on client and server, so every player who joins the server needs it installed. Its code is released under the zlib License, which is not an open source license, and the files target only 1.21.1. Its primary category is Social, and the mod also carries the tags Cursed, Game mechanics, Magic and World generation.
Key features
Exile instead of a ban
Banished players are sent to the dimension rather than being removed from the world entirely.
Grimm Forest
A dark, confusing biome where Grimm Trees are the only plants to grow, and cashew fruit resists explosions.
Pando Forest
A forest that looks normal but is linked by fungi into one living organism, the only place Sporeling can be found.
Meat Canyon
A pulsing biome of tendrils and exploding pimples, where aggressive Orse animals drop the item needed to leave.
Crafting materials
Green stone is used for the Twisted Pedestal, and glowing and strong ores supply the base for the dimension's key items.

What the author says
The Grimm Forest: A dark and confusing place where the only thing that grows are the Grimm Trees, a new type of tree resistent to explosions and the cashew fruit, a not so great food source. The Pando Forest: It may appear like a normal forest but this connected fungi makes the whole place its own living organism…
