Modkit
by DeadlyHunter
Modkit is a Forge and NeoForge tool for building custom items, blocks, tools and recipes through menus, without writing Java code.
What it does
Modkit works as a mod-making engine. Instead of writing Java, a creator opens the Modkit menu, fills in a few fields, and the engine turns those entries into a working mod with its own content. Once a project is ready it can be tested in the game and then shared or added to a modpack.
Installing Modkit means placing it in the mods folder for the loader, launching the game, and opening Modkit to create a workspace. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge only, under the 1.20.1 and 1.21.1 game versions. The latest Forge file is 1.1.0 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 1.1.0 for 1.21.1, both dated 2026-07-08.
Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Menu-based item creation
Items, food and tools are defined by filling in fields in a menu, with no code involved.
Block and ore definitions
Blocks and ores can be created in the same way, alongside weapons and armor.
Recipe editing
Crafting recipes can be added, and existing recipes can be overridden, so new content fits into the crafting system.
Tags
Tags group items and blocks together, so recipes and other content can refer to a whole set at once.

Who it’s for: Creators who want to add their own items, blocks, tools and recipes without learning Java, and server owners who want to ship that content to their players.
