What it does

Curiosities! adds metals such as Aluminum, Nickel and Invar, each with its own tools, armor and crafting materials. Nickel is a conductive, heat-resistant metal used for redstone components such as the Redstone Diode and Redstone Fuse. Invar is an alloy made from Ancient Scrap, Netherite Scrap, Iron and Nickel, and it gives armor flat damage reduction. Invar Weights are blocks that fall with gravity after a set time, and the amount of Invar used in a craft sets that time.

The mod is split into two parts. One part expands vanilla with building blocks such as Fancied Planks and Ashlar bricks made from vanilla woods and stones, backported models, smooth stone retextures, and missing stairs, walls and slabs for blocks like prismarine and quartz. The other part adds newer content, including industrial and brutalist blockset pieces and decorations such as Tiki Torches and Laterite. Incense is a torch-like block that provides healing buffs to the area around it when lit.

The mod is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is open source. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, and the latest file is 0.2.1, released on 2026-04-08. It runs on the client and the server, so both need it.
