Honk
by Jam Core
Honk brings a loud, short-tempered mob to Quilt, along with a chain of technology machines that extract, process, breed and combine the creature's blood.
What it does
Honk is a mob-and-technology mod for Quilt. Its central creature was thought extinct for years, but ancient amber containing Honk blood can be mined deep underground. Players process that blood to extract DNA, then breed Honks and optimize their genes. Combining Honks produces new types, such as the Iron Honk, and farming Honks yields the resources they provide. The design takes the feel of the Chickens Mod and adds some twists of its own.
The mod needs JamLib, Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) / Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) and oωo (owo-lib) to run. It is open source under the MIT License and supports Minecraft 1.20 and 1.20.1, with the latest Quilt file, 0.1.0-beta.16 for 1.20.1, published on the beta channel on 2023-08-25. Honk runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it.
Key features
Amber mining
Ancient amber containing Honk blood is found deep underground and serves as the starting material for the Honk chain.
DNA processing
Blood is processed into DNA, which feeds the breeding and genetics steps that follow.
Gene breeding
Honks are bred and their genes optimized, so the traits of each generation can be shaped.
Hybrid Honks
Combining two Honks creates new types, including the Iron Honk, each with different behavior and yields.
Resource farming
Honks can be farmed for the resources they provide, supporting the technology side of the mod.
WAILA support
Block and entity information displays work through WAILA derivatives such as WTHIT, and Tech Reborn content is included in the machine chain.

Server economies
On a shared server, Honk farms can provide a steady supply of materials for players who trade or build together.
Who it’s for: Players who enjoy mob-based farming and automated technology will find the mod's chain of machines and breeding steps suited to long survival worlds. Server owners who want a farm-based resource loop can add it to a Quilt setup.

The Honk - a mysterious creature extinct for years...until now. They're angry, they're loud, and they're annoying. But they also possess a power that can be exploited for your own gain.
