What it does

Instant Feedback for Vanilla Backport implements most of the features requested on the Minecraft feedback site, and it is a backport of the 1.21.1 Pale Garden content to Minecraft 1.20.1. Biome fog thickens at night, pale pumpkins come in two variations, including a carved form, and the vegetation is more varied, with pale flowers, tall grass, small bushes, pumpkins and fallen trees. Ambient particles resemble the creaking eyes, and the creaking mob no longer spawns naturally but is buffed when it appears: its movement speed is up 50 percent and its attack damage rises from 2 to 10 on the 1.20.1 version. Damage scales with the game difficulty, reaching 6 on Normal and 10 on Hard.

This mod requires Platform and Vanilla Backport, which must be installed next to it on Fabric. It is published for Fabric only, and its files cover 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 4.1.1+backport+1.20.1 as the latest 1.20.1 file. The mod was first designed for 1.21.1 Fabric, and the 1.21.1 backport was later removed because of significant rendering differences. Another developer took the project over and carried the 1.20.1 version forward. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Its environment does not change between the two supported versions.
