Chrysalia
by okipiak
Chrysalia, a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, adds moth-themed cocoons, moonmoths and redstone blocks to the game.
What it does
The mod is a lightweight addition built around moths. Its additions are meant to be subtle, adding atmosphere and small utility rather than large new systems, and it sits alongside vanilla gameplay without changing how it plays. Moonmoths and moonmoth cocoons are the central content, and the mod also introduces new redstone blocks that work with them.
Chrysalia requires Fabric API, so both must be installed on Fabric 1.20.1. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Server owners can adjust its behavior through a server-side configuration file. The author has published the source code and a GitHub repository for development progress, and the author plans future updates that expand the moth-themed content and mechanics. The mod is licensed under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Moonmoths and cocoons
Moonmoths and their cocoons appear in the world as the mod's core moth-themed mobs and blocks.
Redstone blocks
New redstone blocks join the moth theme, giving builders additional components for circuits.
Subtle utility
Small utility features are added in a deliberately restrained way, keeping vanilla pacing intact.
Server-side configuration
A config file on the server controls the mod's behavior, so the settings apply to every player.
