I want it earlier (Mounts of Mayhem, IWIE)
by Onako2
Mounts of Mayhem content from newer Minecraft releases is backported to older Fabric and Quilt versions by the mod named Want It Earlier, shortened to IWIE in this catalog.
What it does
Snapshot content from Mojang is ported back to releases such as 1.20.1, 1.20.2 and 1.21 – 1.21.10, so players can use mobs, blocks and items before the official release. Its scope in the author notes includes the Pale Garden, Tricky Trials, Zombie Nautilus, Breath Nautilus, Zombie Horse and mechanics around the Drowned, while some features are still unfinished.
The mod depends on Fabric API. Because it converts blocks, entities and items, removing it later can leave those objects missing from a world, so the author recommends frequent backups. Uninstalling it requires installing the listed data pack first. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds exist for 13 game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.10, and the source code is under the MIT License, which makes it open source.

What the author says
Don't forget to follow if you want to recieve updates when we do something! There will not be a release for "Chaos Cubed"! This Minecraft Mod adds blocks, mobs and items before Mojang even publishes them in snapshots!...or just use the new blocks/items in an old version 🤣.
