CustomVSE
by beno214
CustomVSE is a NeoForge content mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 that adds new biomes, blocks, items, creatures and shaders to the vanilla game.
What it does
Installed on a NeoForge 1.21.1 instance, CustomVSE changes how the world looks and plays. It brings in new biomes, new blocks and items, and new creatures, and it adds its own day and night timing so the cycle differs from vanilla. Custom content layered over the existing world is one of its stated goals, aimed at players who want the game to feel more varied and more demanding.
The mod includes a set of shader options, so a player can switch the look of the world without installing a separate shader pack. Its author describes the result as a fuller, harder version of the base game rather than a single added feature. Files exist only for NeoForge, and only for 1.21.1.
Both the server and every player need the mod. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source in the sense of publishing a public development history, and the first file was dated 2026-07-10 in the beta channel.
