BingusDune
by dshukla1370
BingusDune is a NeoForge mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 and 1.21.2 that adds a new ore, a new mob named Bingus and items made from the mob's drops.
What it does
Bingus lives in the desert and blends in with the sand, guarding the treasures hidden there. Its drops can be used to craft items that rely on the new ore, which the mod also adds to the world. The author describes the mod as a first release that receives frequent updates, with more features planned for later versions.
The mod targets survival and creative play alike, though the author states it does not change survival much. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for NeoForge only, covering 1.21.1 and 1.21.2, with 1.5.0 as the latest file for 1.21.2. The source code is public, but the project is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Bingus SMP Content also runs on client and server under All rights reserved and is limited to 1.21.1, so it covers a narrower set of versions than BingusDune. Constantly on Fire is a client and server mod under the MIT License for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, which places it in a different version range. The Exstras is server-side only and open source under the Apache License 2.0 for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8, so players can join without installing it.
