Clam Addons
by SwaixYT
Clam Addons introduces a rare creature called the Clam, along with armor and weapons crafted from the items it drops.
What it does
The mod adds a rare mob, the Clam, which drops two new items: Clam Guts and Clam Shells. Those drops are the raw material for the new gear, so players meet the creature before they can craft anything from it.
Clam Shells make a set of armor that sits slightly above iron in protection and slightly below diamond. Clam Guts make a sword with the same placement, better than iron and weaker than diamond. The gear is meant for players who want a step between the two metals without leaving the early and mid game.
Clam Addons is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only. It needs both the server and every player, since the Clam and its items are synchronized on both sides. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Use cases
Mid-game gear step
Players who have iron gear and want something between iron and diamond can hunt Clams for the materials.
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy collecting rare drops from a single creature, and server owners who want an extra equipment tier between iron and diamond on a Forge 1.20.1 server.
How it compares
Inhabitants is open source under the MIT License and also runs on Forge 1.20.1 with client and server, so it covers a similar server setup under a different license. Hidrismos is server-side only, released under CC0 1.0 Universal and built for the same Forge 1.20.1 version, so players can join without installing it. Shulkers Drop Boxes is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and only the server needs it, so it is not a like-for-like pick for a Forge client and server.
