Dirt Update
by HollowCubed
Dirt Update is a Forge joke mod for 1.20.1 that adds dirt variants such as slabs, stairs, glowing and frosted dirt.
What it does
Dirt Update adds dirt slabs and stairs, along with glow dirt, frosted dirt and cooked dirt. Its purpose is humor: it treats dirt as a building material for decorating a house. The content is meant for decoration, with the joke sorted as a cursed mod. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The mod is published for Forge and for 1.20.1 only, and it is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Dirt Update is built around a few recipes. Frosted dirt comes from mixing ice with dirt, and glow dirt from dirt mixed with glowstone, giving a light source. An alternate recipe is included for frosted dirt. The latest Forge file is 1.0 for 1.20.1, published 2024-12-15, after the first release on 2024-08-13.
