B'things
by bard0oo0
B'Things adds new animals, hostile creatures, armor and weapons, custom enchantments and a late-game boss to Forge worlds for 1.20.1.
What it does
Discovered animals and hostile creatures sit alongside unusual equipment, armor sets, tools and weapons. Progress across these pieces is linked through Thingsopedia, an in-game record that expands as players find new content and that also carries the lore of the late game.
Custom enchantments give equipment effects that differ from vanilla ones, and recipes are tied to the same progression path. Late-game challenges end with a boss encounter, which players prepare for by gathering the items and enchantments earlier stages provide. Geckolib is required, and the Curios API is optional for the equipment slots that the author recommends.
The mod is published for Forge only, with one release line: 2.2.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2026-09-01. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is not open source, and the license is All rights reserved. The author says it works with OptiFine, and the author recommends EMI for viewing recipes.
Key features
New animals

How it compares
The Unkowned Biome is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. It is also client and server, so both sides need it. Sabo's equipment from One Piece is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 as well, with the same client and server environment and the same license. The Killer Animals adds animals on the same Forge and client and server setup, so it overlaps only in part with the animal content here.
