Jerboa
by Advisor
Jerboa is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 and 1.20.2 that changes standard recipes and adds new ones for armor, tools and some items.
What it does
Jerboa extends the standard game by adding new recipes and by changing some existing crafts. Armor and tools are among the added content, and certain items, such as saddles and thread-based goods, can be crafted without the usual recipe path.
Installation requires Forge, and the mod is published for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2. Client and server both need the mod, so players and the server must each install it. The license is a custom one, and the mod is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public. The author states that development is active, with the latest Forge file, 0.0.2.2-D for 1.20.2, dated 2024-05-11 and marked as a beta build. The project was first published on 2024-05-06.
