Functionality
by BlueEagle421
Functionality is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 that adds new meat drops from passive mobs, rewards for fighting illagers, piglins and vexes, and travel equipment.
What it does
Most passive mobs can drop new meat when they are killed, and the drops can be cooked and eaten. The Farmer's Delight mod is an optional dependency, and when it is installed the new meat works with its cooking and food systems. The mod also adds fights against illagers, piglins and vexes, with item rewards for each.
Travel equipment is integrated with the Curios API, so items that help movement sit in curio slots. Copper, amethyst and several other materials have short-term and long-term uses in the mod's recipes and items. Nearly every feature can be turned off or tuned in the config file, so a server owner can keep only the parts they want. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
