Easy Ants
by toastydoll
Easy Ants lets players pick up, carry and breed ants from the Antarchy mod, with a new set of apples that change the offspring.
What it does
To pick an ant up, a player crouches while holding right-click on it, after which the ant can be moved to another spot. Right-clicking an ant without sneaking does not pick it up, so ordinary interaction is unchanged. Transport ants, termites and other Antarchy insects can be moved this way, and the Ant Breeder block handles breeding.
The Ant Breeder runs an Ant Breeding System in which two ants of the same kind produce more ants. Placing an ant, a termite or another breeder insect with different apples yields different ants. Three new apples, the Fire Apple, Rainbow Apple and Wooden Apple, are added for this purpose. Antarchy must be installed on NeoForge for Easy Ants to load, and the two mods are released together for 1.21.1.
Easy Ants is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. The files are for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.4 as the latest file, published on 2026-09-26. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, and the first release came out on 2026-09-18.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who already use Antarchy and want a breeding and transport layer on top of it. Server owners who run Antarchy with NeoForge 1.21.1 need to add it on the server and to every player's client.
How it compares
Ant (No Ants Included) is server-side only, released under All rights reserved and not open source, with files for 1.21.1 on NeoForge, so players join without installing it. Muddles is a client and server mod under the MIT License, not open source, for NeoForge 1.21.4 – 1.21.8. Simple ant is server required with the client optional, and it is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21.11 – 26.3 under a Creative Commons license.
