Potato Core
by ManticCafe
Potato Core is a Forge equipment mod for 1.20.1 that adds weapons, tools, functional blocks and some materials to the game.
What it does
Potato Core adds several weapons, tools and functional blocks, along with a few materials they can be crafted from. Its author created it for a friend's Minecraft server and later chose to publish it. Work on the project is ongoing, and upcoming updates aim to bring older open-source weapon designs forward, along with additional anime-themed weapons, more materials and distinctive crafting approaches. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Only Forge 1.3.0 for 1.20.1 is published, dated 2025-12-28, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Weapons and tools
Swords, tools and other weapons are added to the game with their own crafting recipes and uses.
Functional blocks
Blocks with working functions join the equipment, so the mod adds more than items held in the hand.
Additional materials
New materials are added that the weapons and tools are made from, expanding the crafting options.
