One and Only
by Back Work!
One and Only is a NeoForge world generation mod that adds desert biomes, wood sets, fruit trees and themed blocks for 1.21.1.
What it does
The mod reworks the desert biome with new terrain features. Short stubby trees with a wood color between black and prismarine grow there, next to a bright yellow wood set that pairs with tropical doors and trapdoors. Two new wood sets, one of them an elegant door and trapdoor design, give builders a wider palette without changing vanilla blocks. Food and crafting follow the same theme. Zaytun leaves can be harvested for a yield of roughly one item per ten leaves, and olive oil is pressed into functional olive oil lamps. Maryam and Ajwa dates come from the new Flamepalm trees, and eating a Maryam date grants a Poison Antidote effect lasting 20 minutes.
Mineral and decoration content completes the mod. A crystalline ore spreads through the overworld desert and works much like quartz, giving a large set of functional blocks. A Gem Casing crafts into an illuminated utility block for displaying gems, and new igneous rock brings a blockset with marble projectile pellets. Zamzam water is included as an item with a positive and a negative effect.
The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license, and it is not open source. It is published for NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, and the client and server both need it. Version 0.6 is the latest file, dated 2026-08-28.

What the author says
Against this, my response is that I actually did originally make the mod because I wanted to appeal to the muslim fanbase. And also, I don't make the islamic items and blocks actually have the same function as their real life counterparts. Zamzam water in real life doesn't glow or give a positive and negative effect…
