More Parity
by Meristetido
More Parity brings a handful of Minecraft Bedrock Edition behaviors to NeoForge 1.20.4, such as campfires that light entities on fire and parrots that dance on shoulders.
What it does
Several mechanics that exist in Bedrock Edition but not in Java Edition are reproduced here. Pufferfish inflate when hurt, chat opens with the Enter key, and Fire Aspect can light campfires and candles. Campfires and candles set entities on fire, campfires are extinguished when struck on their bottom face, and flowing water fills cauldrons. Endermen take damage while standing in cauldrons filled with water, and parrots dance on a player's shoulders.
The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the code and issue tracker are public. It is a NeoForge mod for 1.20.4 only, published as version 1.0.0 on 2026-08-02. Client and server both need it, so a multiplayer server and every player must install the same build.
Each change is a separate behavior, so a server can decide which Bedrock-style rules it wants players to experience, although the mod itself offers no configuration option in its description.
Key features
Pufferfish inflation
A pufferfish inflates when it takes damage, matching the Bedrock Edition behavior.
Enter key chat
Pressing Enter opens the chat window, a control that Bedrock Edition players already use.
Fire-lit campfires and candles
Fire Aspect can light campfires and candles, and lit campfires and candles set entities on fire.
Cauldron and water rules
Flowing water fills cauldrons, and endermen take damage while standing in a water-filled cauldron.
Parrot dancing
Parrots dance on a player's shoulders, as they do in Bedrock Edition.

How it compares
Candle Damage covers only the campfire and candle fire behavior, and it is a server-side mod for 1.21.5 – 26.3 that is not open source. Bedrock-style cauldron behavior is also handled by Consistent Cauldrons, which targets 26.2 – 26.3 and is likewise server-side and not open source. Bedrockoid is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with client and server environment, so it reaches more Bedrock-like features and more versions than More Parity does.
