Random Vanilla+
by tenshune
Random Vanilla+ is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that adds new recipes, armor, tools, a music disc and advancements to the vanilla game.
What it does
Random Vanilla+ adds a handful of extra items to a vanilla survival world. Its author lists a way to make pizza, obsidian and emerald armor and tools, a new saddle recipe and a new music disc among the additions, along with new advancements for players to earn. The author notes that more content is planned for later builds, but none of it is part of the current release.
Because it adds recipes and items rather than new dimensions or mobs, the mod can be used in single-player worlds and on multiplayer servers alike. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Its license is the Apache License 2.0, and the code is not open source. The current file is 1.1.0 for 1.20.1, published 2024-12-08 on the beta channel.
