Jack o'Cache
by deuli
Jack o'Cache, a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, adds 40 pumpkin types that players collect by defeating mobs or converting pumpkins with a new weapon.
What it does
Players start with the Jack o'Slicer, a new weapon that can obtain pumpkins in two ways. Killing a mob that carries a pumpkin in the inventory gives a chance for that mob to drop a special pumpkin. Right-clicking a pumpkin block with the weapon converts it into another pumpkin type, depending on conditions such as the surrounding blocks and the dimension.
The collection spans several kinds of mobs. Creeper, Enderman, Skeleton, Rotten, Villager, Pig, Spider and Ghast pumpkins each come from specific mobs at set drop rates, for example 50 percent from Creepers and 80 percent from Ghasts. Some pumpkins have a unique model. The mod is licensed under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. It is built for Forge and runs on the client and the server, so both need it. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 0.4.0 for 1.20.2 as the latest.
Key features
Forty pumpkin types
Forty distinct pumpkins can be gathered, either from a mob's drop or by changing an existing pumpkin.
Mob-based drops
Creepers, Endermen, Skeletons, Zombies, Villagers, Pigs, Spiders and Ghasts each carry a pumpkin chance, ranging from 35 to 95 percent.
Jack o'Slicer conversion
A block-based weapon turns a pumpkin into another type when used on it, under conditions tied to the surrounding blocks and dimension.
Unique models
A few of the collected pumpkins have their own model rather than a recolored texture.
