GoodMC: Items
by Buvtack
GoodMC: Items brings back the notch-themed gear and tools of the original GoodMC mod, and it is set up for 1.20.1 only.
What it does
The mod adds the armor set, the sword and the pickaxe, axe, shovel and hoe in the original Notch style. Enchanted Golden Apples, called Notch Apples, are used as a crafting ingredient for these items, and the mod includes a Notch Apple block. Recipes follow the same pattern as vanilla Minecraft, so each piece is made from familiar materials.
Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, all for 1.20.1, with the same 1.0 release dated 2026-05-05 on each loader. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the mod is installed on both the client and the server. Installing GoodMC is necessary first, because the mod's items were built to sit alongside it, and the items install completely separately from the other content.
The mod also ships a built-in resource pack in the style of Programmer Art, so the textures match the early look of the original release. The author describes it as the way to get the classic GoodMC experience and notes a few additional surprises and easter eggs left inside the mod for players to find.

Use cases
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want the early GoodMC gear back, and server owners who want the Notch items available to everyone on a 1.20.1 server.
How it compares
Craftable Notch Apple works on either side, and neither needs it. It is not open source, and it is licensed under the MIT License, with files for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Legacy Notch Apple Crafting also is needed on the server, with the client optional, so a server can run it alone. It is licensed as All rights reserved, with files for 1.21 – 26.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. GoodMC: Items needs to be installed on both sides and covers only 1.20.1, so it reaches a narrower range of versions.

What the author says
GoodMC: Items can be installed completely separately. Installing GoodMC is NOT required in order to install this mod. The original version of GoodMC, made for Minecraft 1.12.2, added a few items and gear to the game that the newer versions of it do not.
