What it does

Effect items adds a set of new things to the game: new ores, custom structures, and potion effect icons that are shown more clearly. Several parts were finished in earlier beta builds, while others are still rough, and the author notes that major bugs can get in the way of play. Players who want a stable experience are advised to wait for a later release that includes bug fixes.

The mod also includes a remastered Villager translator and a Google translate feature, along with a cartoon-style Gragphity fall effect. Unbalanced elements are part of the design, so playthroughs can feel less predictable. Effect items is built for Forge and is published only for 1.20.1, with the 0.3 beta as the latest file, dated 2025-06-02, on the beta channel.

Only the client needs the mod. The server can run without it, and it is published under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. An issue tracker is available for reporting bugs.

Key features

  1. New ores

    Additional ore blocks are added to the world, giving players new materials to gather.

  2. Potion effect icons

    Potion effect icons are displayed with more detail than in vanilla, so active effects are easier to read.

  3. Custom structures

    Custom structures generate in the world, adding new places to explore.

  4. Villager translator

    A remastered Villager translator tool is included, with a Google translate option for converting text.
