Phone Mod
by qgram-code
Phone Mod is a Forge 1.20.1 roleplay add-on that gives players in-game phones with messaging, passport IDs, battery charging and administrator tools for surveillance and player detention.
What it does
A phone is an item that opens a GUI with a set of basic apps. Players message each other, check their passport ID, and view player information through a PassApp. The phone draws power from a battery that drains as apps are used, with each use costing a set share of charge, and a Charge Station restores it. Chats are kept in server-side storage, and messages are limited to 25 characters with a 3-second cooldown.
The mod is built for roleplay servers with factions, government and social gameplay. Administrators get apps that monitor chats, lock apps, ban players and delete messages. Handcuffs let staff restrict movement, and a command set (fsb, rkn, max, telega, handcuffs) opens each tool. Because the mod is client and server, the server and every player need it installed.
Phone Mod is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, with the latest file 1.1.2 from 2026-07-01 on the beta channel. The code is under All rights reserved and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Messaging and passport IDs
Players send chat messages through the phone and display a passport ID that other players can read.
Battery and charging
Phones use a battery that drains with app use, and a Charge Station recharges it.
Administrator monitoring
Staff can view player chats, lock apps, ban players and delete messages from the admin apps.
Handcuffs and detention
Players can be cuffed with right-click and released with shift and right-click, which restricts their movement actions.
