Functional Items - MoU
by Meekeyn
Functional Items - MoU is a Forge content mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds a custom trident with two switchable modes, plus three writable items for a larger modpack.
What it does
The mod's main item is a trident with two operating modes that can be switched during play. Throw mode is a ranged attack, while dash mode gives a rapid movement attack. The trident also has a custom lightning strike ability that can be used during rain and thunderstorms, and its mode indicators use custom textures so the active mode is visible at a glance.
The mod is described by its author as a content mod built for a larger custom modpack, with the aim of adding items that help pack gameplay, immersion, progression and custom mechanics across that pack. Beyond the trident it includes three writable items, which serve as an alternative way to organize information inside the game world, and a set of enchantment restrictions that are balanced independently of vanilla rules. The author presents it as a foundation that new items, tools and utilities can be added to over time.
Functional Items - MoU is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The mod includes translations for several languages, with more planned for future updates.
