Illusion bedrock
Illusion Bedrock adds a craftable fake bedrock block that looks identical to the real thing but can be broken with a pickaxe.
What it does
Players craft the fake bedrock in survival mode, or get it instantly in creative mode. The block is visually indistinguishable from the unbreakable original, which makes it useful for pranks, secret builds and hidden passages that look like the normal world floor.
A second variant, Fallthrough Illusion Bedrock, appears solid, but players and mobs fall straight through it. That allows hidden traps and secret entrances in a map. The mod runs on both client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds listed for 1.16.5, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1; the latest are 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 on Forge and 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 on NeoForge. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Use cases
Pranks and hidden traps
Fallthrough blocks placed in a floor can catch players who walk onto what looks like solid ground.
Secret builds
The fake block lets builders hide rooms or passages beneath an ordinary-looking base floor.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who build prank maps, adventure maps with concealed areas, and multiplayer servers where owners set traps for friends. Both client and server need it, so it is installed on server owners' setups and joined by players.
How it compares
Breaking Bedrock is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.16 – 26.3, so it reaches more loaders and versions than Illusion Bedrock. Bedrock Hotbar is client-side only under the MIT License, so it needs no server install, while Illusion Bedrock needs both sides.
