Fungalworks
by Gumillea
Fungalworks is a lightweight data pack that expands the mushroom-related content of vanilla Minecraft with new blocks, foods, fuel and decorative items.
What it does
The Fungalworks data pack adds mushroom-themed recipes and blocks. Mushroom Stem alternative logs can be used in place of the vanilla stems, and a harvested hand can craft Fungal Planks. Both Mushroom Blocks can be harvested with a hoe and crafted together with Mushroom Stem to produce two blocks.
Mushroom Stew has its own recipe using mushrooms of either color. A stew made with Red Mushrooms carries a hidden Poison effect. Greasy Fungal Clump is a new material crafted from Mushroom Stem and meat, and it works as fuel with the same value as coal.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run the data pack, while players may join without it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker publicly available. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, all for 1.21.1, and the mod was first published on 2026-06-15.
