Qol Anything
Qol Anything, a Forge quality-of-life mod for Minecraft 1.20.1, adds recipes for existing items, themed content and a custom biome-driven progression route.
What it does
Seven recipes are added for existing items, including a gunpowder recipe, a brewing stand recipe that uses glowstone dust and charcoal, a bundle recipe that requires blaze powder, a saddle recipe, a name tag recipe, an alternative lead recipe and an enchanted golden apple recipe. Some of these follow newer game versions, and one restores a recipe removed from an older version.
Content themed around a media character called Gubby is also included. Obtaining the Gubby blocks requires generating several biomes, among them cherry groves, snowy plains, snowy taigas and beaches, slopes, ice spikes, dripstone caves, badlands, wooded badlands and lush caves. Iron can be made through alloy cooking, and a villager profession block called Gubbycare is used to obtain the Gubby side content.
A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge only, for game version 1.20.1, and the license is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
