Dinnerbone Gravity [Dinnerbone Floats]

Name: Dinnerbone Gravity [Dinnerbone Floats]
Author: AlzAlz123

by AlzAlz123

Dinnerbone Gravity makes any mob named Dinnerbone turn upside down and float upward instead of falling.

What it does

Dinnerbone Gravity changes how mobs named Dinnerbone behave. A mob with that name is flipped upside down, and its gravity reverses so it rises rather than falling. A mob with a different name keeps normal gravity and stays upright. The author renamed the project from Dinnerbone Floats because the new name describes the effect more accurately.

The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. It is available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 38 game versions 1.16 – 26.1.2, and the author also published a data pack version. The license is Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, and the code is not open source. Compatibility is listed for 1.16.x through 1.20.x, and the author advises checking the file rather than trusting a compatibility message in a launcher.

Key features

Upside-down Dinnerbone mobs
Mobs named Dinnerbone are rendered upside down and float upward, a cursed effect the mod exists to produce.
Name-based trigger
Only mobs carrying the exact name Dinnerbone are affected, so other mobs keep normal gravity.
Levitation fix
A fixed issue stops levitation from continuing after a mob is renamed to something else.
Stronger effect amplifier
The effect amplifier was raised in a later release, making the floating stronger than in earlier builds.

How it compares

Full comparison

Dinnerbone Expansion is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1 that is client-side only and not open source under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License, the same license as this mod. Dinnerbone Expansion NeoPorted is a NeoForge build for 1.21.1 with the same client-side environment and license. DinnerMod is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.17 – 1.21 released under the MIT License and open source, so it differs in environment and in how it is licensed.
