MusteryBlock
by TuckStudios
MusteryBlock is a Forge magic and equipment mod built around a block that hands out one random item per right-click, for 1.20.1.
What it does
Right-clicking the Mustery Block spawns a random item drawn from a loot pool that can include mob drops, so each click is a gamble rather than a crafted outcome. The mod also adds a full set of Mustery tools and armor, covering a sword, pickaxe, axe and armor pieces that the author describes as stronger than Netherite. Hoe and shovel variants are listed as planned for a later update.
The mod is published for Forge only and targets Minecraft 1.20.1 alone. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source. Recipes can be checked in JEI, which is listed as a supported companion.
Key features
Random mob loot block
A shiny block that summons a random mob item on each click, from friendly wolves and emeralds to angry zombies.
Mustery tool set
A sword, pickaxe, axe and armor set with stats the author rates above Netherite equipment.
Recipe lookup in JEI
Recipes for the block and the tools can be looked up in JEI, so players do not need to search the wiki.
High-stakes gameplay
Each click can yield a useful drop or a hazard such as a creeper spawn, which suits PvP and minigame play.

Use cases
Survival chaos
Players in survival can use the block as a gamble for gear and loot when resources run low.
Friendly PvP
Groups of players can play minigames where the random drops decide who gains an edge.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who want randomized loot and a change from predictable progression, and servers that run minigames or PvP events where both sides need the same content.
How it compares
More Netherite Variants is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that is client and server and released under All rights reserved, not open source, so it covers a different set of Netherite items. For Armor Purposes is also a Forge mod for 1.20.1, client and server, and under All rights reserved, focused on armor rather than a random block. FreshArmor ! Hardcore mod is another Forge option for 1.20.1 with the same environment and license, aimed at hardcore armor play.
