Ex Deorum
With Ex Deorum, a world gets a port of the Ex Nihilo progression for Forge and NeoForge, covering sieves, crucibles and barrels for 1.20 and later.
What it does
Ex Deorum is a port of the original Ex Nihilo, updated to 1.20 and beyond. Unlike the original and its other ports, it ships a SkyBlock world type that players can select without any extra setup. Every recipe lives in data packs, and the default recipes cover only items from vanilla Minecraft, so the mod can be played without Ex Compressum.
The mod adds a watering can as a faster alternative to bone meal, which removes much of the need for growth helpers such as Tree Growing Simulator. It has six tiers, and the wooden watering can and a torch are handed to the player at the start of a world, both configurable. Ex Deorum is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source. It runs on client and server, and the server and every player need it. Files cover 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.21, 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2.
