Berry Proof
Berry Proof, a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1, lets players wearing tagged leggings walk through sweet berry bushes and cacti without taking damage.
What it does
Sweet berry bushes and cacti normally hurt anyone who touches them, which makes them a hazard on foot and for mobs. Berry Proof changes this for players who wear leggings marked by a data tag: those leggings stop the damage from both sources. Vanilla leggings are enabled by default, so the effect works without any datapack setup.
Villagers, iron golems and wandering traders are also immune to berry bush and cactus damage by default. The mod supports datapacks, so server owners can add more damage sources, entities and leggings, including vanilla and modded items. A debug mode with verbose logging shows how tag matching is resolved, which helps when a custom setup does not behave as expected.
Berry Proof is a Client and server mod: the server and every player need it. It is published for NeoForge only, with a single version, 1.0.1 for 1.21.1, which is also the latest file. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
