Just Enough Freaky Additions (JEFA)
by Wachipayoxx
Players who want loot tables to reach more of the game can add Just Enough Freaky Additions to a NeoForge world, where it extends fishing, piglin bartering, trial chambers and mob behavior.
What it does
Just Enough Freaky Additions, usually shortened to JEFA, is a NeoForge utility mod for Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.5. It adds seven new categories to the recipe viewer, and the categories are generated procedurally from the game's loot tables, so the viewer shows drops that vanilla does not list. The mod is compatible with datapack mods that change those tables.
Its gameplay changes cover piglin bartering, fishing loot, the loot from trial chamber vaults and spawners, and several mob interactions. Frogs can eat magma cubes to produce froglights, turtles grow armadillo scutes, and a tamed cat brings gifts in the morning and sleeps beside its owner. Hero of the Village rewards can also be given through a profession. Villagers from other mods are detected, and the hero village category was tested.
Only the client needs the mod installed for the features to show, while the server may leave it out. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker. The latest NeoForge file is 1.1.0 for 1.21.1, published 2026-07-08.

What the author says
Al this categories are added procedurally with the game loot tables, so is datapack and mod compatible! Even it should detect other mod's villagers for the Hero of the Village category (not tested). Also detects enchantments, potion effects, item damage, and item quantity in loot tables procedurally!
