FabricForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1

What it does

On startup, the mod writes a block of ASCII art shaped like a wedge of cheese to the console. No items, blocks or menus are added. Both the server and every player need it, since it is a client and server mod, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.

Builds exist for Fabric and Forge, both for 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the single release on each loader. The source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Startup cheese art

    At launch the mod prints an ASCII cheese picture to the console, which can be seen in the log window.

  2. Console-only output

    The art appears only in the console log when the game starts, and no in-game screen or item is involved.

  3. Joke content

    The mod exists for the cheese joke, and its single feature is the printed art that greets the launch.

What the author says

Have you ever despaired at the lack of ASCII cheese in your log files? This mod corrects that grave absence of dairy product, by printing ASCII cheese to your log file upon game start. Not if you don't need ASCII cheese. - Is this mod useful?
