Orpiment
by Enehb
Orpiment, a Forge world generation mod for 1.20.1 by Enehb, adds amber caves, wraiths, craws and spawner-related blocks to the world.
What it does
The mod generates amber caves underground, with amber spheres, walls and floors. Breaking an amber block drops one to two amber chunks. A set of amber blocks adds pillars, bricks, lamps and chiseled blocks for building. Tar and sap are also added, and sap can be carried in a bucket and moved from place to place.
Craw eggs are found rarely inside sap. They hatch slowly, and placing lignite blocks near them speeds that up. A hatched egg spawns a baby craw that grows into an adult, which can be tamed with a bird. Once tamed, a craw can be fed, equipped with a saddle and ridden. Its energy drains while ridden and a dash uses it up; when it reaches zero the rider is kicked off, and it refills over time while being ridden and fed.
Orpiment is a Client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1. The latest Forge file is 0.6.0, dated 2026-07-07, and the mod was first published on 2026-06-02.
