Dirtplat
by Limbolic
Dirtplat, a Forge equipment mod by Limbolic, turns the Skyblock-style platform idea into a small set of dirt-based items and blocks, including compressed dirt that multiplies dirt used in crafting.
What it does
The mod recreates a dirt platform of the kind found in Skyblock-style minigames, a 3x2 area built from dirt instead of the usual starting materials. Its main content is compressed dirt, a block that is broken to multiply the amount of dirt used to make it, by a factor of 2.5x according to the author. Removing compressed dirt is the item players will make most often, and the mod adds several other items alongside it.
Dirtplat also adds raw life, with grass blocks that can be made dead, life trees and seeds, plus spawn egg shells, an item used to craft spawn eggs for chickens, cows, villagers and similar mobs. Spawners are listed as not counting toward the spawn egg recipes. The author wrote the mod with MCreator as a learning project and describes it as a simple, silly mod.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 only, is licensed under CC0 1.0 Universal and is not open source. Client and server both need it. The latest Forge file is 1.8.001, published 2026-02-23, and the mod was first published on 2025-07-12.

What the author says
This mod is still being made with mcreator, im not learning how to code [especially when it comes to java] just to make this silly mod better, dont judge:/ DIRTPLAT is a mod that lets you do a simple minigame alike skyblock, but on a 3x2 platform made of dirt instead! this mod adds multiple items not only to make it…
