Kinetic & Magnetic
by Maynecraft
Kinetic & Magnetic adds a magnet ore, magnet blocks and armor sets that push and pull entities and items on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
Magnet Ore appears in the world between Y=0 and Y=36. Raw magnet material is smelted into Positive and Negative Magnet Ingots, which craft into Positive and Negative Magnet Blocks. Those blocks act as field sources that attract or repel nearby entities and items, and the mod shows crafting and smelting recipes in the game.
Full sets of Positive and Negative Armor create a persistent magnetic field around the wearer. Positive Armor draws in iron items and entities and pushes away other Positive-armored players, while Negative Armor attracts Positive objects and repels iron and other Negative-armored entities. The mod aims for plausible magnetism that keeps simplified, smooth gameplay, and the author describes it as roughly 60% complete, with more tools, redstone devices and recipes planned.
Kinetic & Magnetic is a NeoForge mod released under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Client and server both need it, and Just Enough Items (JEI) and TT20 (TPS Fixer) are optional dependencies. Files exist for 1.21.1 only, first published on 2026-09-09.
