Grug
Grug is a joke-themed Fabric and Forge addon for Minecraft 1.20.1 that lets a player turn into a caveman character with Aura-based abilities.
What it does
Grug's Cave structures are scattered across the Overworld, and a rare Grug rock can be found inside them. Equipping it transforms the player into Grug. Players spend experience on Aura boost upgrades, which raise Grug's damage until he becomes Unstoppable. Aura is gained through sacrifices, and no Negative Aura is granted.
The mod is built on Architectury API, Curios API, Geckolib, KubeJS, Palladium, Pehkui, Rhino and Trinkets, so all eight must be installed alongside it. The Palladium Meme Addon 1.20.1 works with it, and the Grug Durability Upgrades are added as a later progression step. Grug runs on client and server, so the server and every player need the mod. It is published for Fabric and Forge under All rights reserved, with the 1.0.0 file dated 2025-12-15.

What the author says
This Addon offers players the chance to become the Immaculate Aura-Filled sigma gigachad known only as Grug. Be warned! After playing this absolute brainrot of an addon, you may be left in a state where you can only say Grug catchphrases like "I am a caveman!!!" and "cuz it rhymes with grug" irl. How to become Grug?…
