Peaceful Harvest
by Azturax
Peaceful Harvest is a NeoForge progression mod that makes Peaceful mode playable by placing resources in the world itself, so players can explore, gather and survive without fighting hostile mobs.
What it does
Hostile mobs drop many items that vanilla Minecraft keeps behind combat. Peaceful Harvest moves those materials into world generation and environmental systems: Remnant Coarse Dirt spreads across the overworld holding bones and rotten flesh, Saltpeter Deposits and Sulfuric Netherrack supply gunpowder ingredients, and Withered Netherrack gives a route to wither-related drops such as skull fragments. Mob interaction stays optional, and players who avoid fights can still gather what they need.
The mod also reworks crafting paths for its items. Gunpowder can be crafted from Sulfur, Saltpeter and Coal, Shulker Shells are crafted from End resources, Nether Stars are assembled through a custom recipe, and Arabic Gum and Pine Sap open new utility crafting options. It is published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only and runs on client and server. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Gathering-based progression
Materials that normally come from mob drops are found in terrain, plants and structures, so progress does not require combat.
Silk Trees and White Spiders
Silk Trees generate with infested logs that spawn neutral White Spiders, and Silk Leaves drop string for early crafting.
Flora sources for rare drops
Ender Lilies, Ember Lilies and Tearbloom plants give ender pearls, blaze rods and ghast tears, while a deep underground plant yields phantom membranes.
Shulker and End resources
Shulker Scraped End Stone gives access to shulker materials in the End, where the dimension supplies what its mobs once did.
World Generation Overhaul
New blocks, plants and structures replace many traditional features, so the overworld and Nether look different from vanilla.
