Bedrock Redux
Bedrock Redux brings a handful of Bedrock Edition behaviors into Java Edition 1.20 – 1.20.4 on Forge, with the server doing most of the work.
What it does
Bedrock Redux ports some features from Bedrock Edition into Java Edition. Fishes, squids and other water creatures can spawn in bubble column blocks that sit on flowing water, and the Y-axis coordinate is limited to a floor below 64. Piglins that guard a broken gold block, such as a gold block or nether gold ore, behave as they do in Bedrock. Gold ingots tossed to piglins can finish a barter immediately, which makes bartering farms yield far more loot in a short time.
Thrown tridents deal damage when they are pushed by pistons, a Bedrock behavior that Java Edition does not have. The mod ports that feature as well, so tridents can be turned into a trap or a trick on a server that enables it. The Forge build is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Bubble column spawns
Water creatures can spawn in bubble column blocks placed on flowing water, as in Bedrock Edition.
Height limit below 64
The Y-axis coordinate is capped below 64, so the world's vertical range is reduced to match Bedrock.
Immediate piglin barter
A gold ingot tossed to a piglin completes the barter at once, speeding up bartering farms.
Piston-pushed tridents
Thrown tridents take damage when pushed by pistons, a behavior ported from Bedrock Edition.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners who want some Bedrock Edition behavior in a Java world, and players who already know those features and want them in Java Edition.
How it compares
Immersive Bedrock is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, built for 1.20.1 on Forge, and is needed on both the server and the client. Better Piglin Trade is open source under the same license, covers 1.16.5 – 1.20.6 and is needed on both the server and the client. BedrockUltimateTool covers 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, is not open source under All rights reserved, and is needed on both the server and the client. Bedrock Redux needs the server, and players may join without installing it.
