What it does

Erudium brings Custom NPCs-style entities, a new villager job type, coffee items and assorted food into one Forge mod for 1.20.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Its code is published under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Custom mobs and food

    Custom entities and unusual food items give survival and adventure play a stranger, more fanciful flavor.

  2. Coffee and villager profession

    Coffee-related items and mechanics appear alongside a new profession that villagers can take up and interact with.

  3. Recipe visibility in JEI

    New items and recipes show up in the Just Enough Items interface, so players can look them up in game.
