Gnomes
by Inkey
Gnomes is a Forge world generation mod that adds gnome-themed content to dark forests, along with mushrooms that players can use in crafting.
What it does
Gnomes adds small friendly creatures that spawn in dark forest biomes, and it changes that biome a little. Blue mushrooms, blue mushroom blocks and gnome homes appear alongside them, and red and purple gnomes can be found living among red and purple mushroom homes.
Red and purple mushrooms can be turned into a paste, which works in recipes that use oak and dark oak planks and wood. Gnome stew is a rare drop from the gnomes and gives interesting effects when eaten, but it cannot be crafted. Birch, spruce and other wood types are not affected by the paste. The mod is client-side only, so servers can run without it, and it is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license. It is not open source, and it is published for Forge across 1.19.2 and 1.19.4, with 1.0.1 for 1.19.4 as the latest file.
