Everything Japanese
Everything Japanese, a Forge and NeoForge mod, adds Japan-inspired blocks, foods, katanas, kimonos and folklore creatures to a world.
What it does
Japanese architectural blocks let players build temples, houses and gardens in a Japan-inspired style. The mod also adds traditional dishes such as sushi and ramen, plus items like katanas and kimonos, and new entities drawn from Japanese folklore and culture. A small set of other miscellaneous content is included as well.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It requires EverythingCore and Geckolib, and the code is under the MIT License, which makes the project open source. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge across 9 release versions, 1.21 – 26.2, with 1.5.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest Forge file and 1.27-26.2 for 26.2 as the latest NeoForge file.
