Evil Beetroot
by wdfeer
Players who harvest beetroots may run into Evil Beetroot, a Fabric mod that adds hostile beetroot enemies and beetroot items for 1.20.1.
What it does
Harvesting beetroots can summon Small Beetroots, and a Sentient Beetroot drops from them about one time in five. Killing twenty Small Beetroots, or eating a Sentient Beetroot, calls the Beetroot Boss. After the Boss is defeated, Beetroot Phantoms begin to appear while harvesting, and they carry resistance and keep burning sunlight at bay.
The mod depends on Fabric Language Kotlin, which must be installed alongside it. Evil Beetroot runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are available for 1.20.1 only, and the latest Fabric build is 0.14.4, dated 2024-09-15. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly.
Key features
Small Beetroot enemies
Harvesting beetroots can summon Small Beetroots, which serve as the first step toward the boss fight.
Beetroot Boss
Killing twenty Small Beetroots or eating a Sentient Beetroot summons the Beetroot Boss, which drops Beetroot Hearts half the time.
Beetroot Heart
Using a Beetroot Heart permanently grants one extra heart, and it can be used only once per heart.
Beetroot tools
A Beetroot Diamond is crafted from a Diamond, a Sentient Beetroot and a Beetroot Heart, then used to make a dagger with low damage and high attack speed, and a rapier with medium damage and attack speed.

Use cases
Food-themed survival
Players who farm beetroots in a survival world gain a reason to keep harvesting, since drops and summons come from the crop itself.
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy cursed or novelty content in survival worlds, and server owners who want a themed boss fight tied to a common crop.
How it compares
Cheaper Beetroots Soup is a server-side mod that players can join without installing, with files for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.18 – 1.21.9, under the MIT License. Beeten is open source under the Apache License 2.0, runs on client and server, and targets 1.21 – 1.21.10, so it is not available for 1.20.1.
