Fake Things
by KSmc's Team
Fake Things lets items and blocks disguise themselves as other items and blocks, so a player can carry or place something that looks like a different object.
What it does
Generated items take on the appearance of a designated item, and a fake block placed in the world turns into a fake block once placed. A fake item looks like the item it imitates but keeps its own stats, so its displayed durability, stacking limit, attack animation and other attributes come from the disguise, while its actual attack damage, digging speed and armor values come from the real item. A fake item cannot be used, and fake blocks dropped as items share the hardness of stone. Fake items and blocks are removed when the game save is closed, so the disguises do not persist between sessions.
The mod is a Forge utility for Minecraft 1.20.1 and runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. The project is open source under the MIT License, and public links exist for the source code, the issue tracker and a wiki. It is a meme-style mod, and the author uses it to play with how items are presented. The latest Forge file is 1.1 for 1.20.1, published on 2025-10-07.
Key features
Disguised items
Items are generated to look like a chosen item, while showing the disguise's durability and stacking limit.
Fake block placement
A fake block placed in the world automatically becomes a fake block, with stone-level hardness when dropped.
Command-based giving
A command gives a fake item by count, damage and item name, so the disguised item can be set directly.
Session-only fakes
Fake items and blocks are removed when the save is closed, so disguises do not carry over into later play.
