GBN Framwork
GBN Framwork, a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, adds a new dimension with a rare ore called bismuth and a set of joke items to the game.
What it does
The mod was created to be used in the modpacks of the GenericBrandName team, and its author encourages other modpack makers to use it freely in their own packs. It adds a new dimension where bismuth can be found, and the ore can be used in whatever recipes a player or pack maker wants. Bismuth also opens a use in a steel ancient city portal frame.
Because it is a Forge mod, it needs a Forge installation for 1.20.1 and runs on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Files for 1.20.1 are the only builds published, and the latest is version 5.4.0, dated 2026-04-24. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Public links to a wiki exist for players who want more detail.
