Refused Suggestions
by Kotoro
Refused Suggestions brings in a set of ideas that Mojang declined to add to Minecraft, including crying obsidian dark-dimension finishes, real craft chainmail armor, and amethyst armor and tools.
What it does
The additions cover food-focused content and a few gear items, with the goal of letting players try features the official game did not ship. Its author describes the mod as a way to see what those rejected suggestions would look like in play. Refused Suggestions is categorized under Food, with Adventure, Equipment and World generation as secondary categories.
Installation takes one loader file only: Forge builds exist for 1.20.1 and NeoForge builds exist for 1.21.1, and the latest files are 1.0.1 for each, dated 2025-01-18. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, and it was first published on 2024-12-29.

Use cases
Testing rejected ideas
Players who want to see how features from the suggestion list would fit into survival can add them to a world.
Who it’s for: Players who want to try content Mojang declined to add, and server owners who want those additions on a shared server. Because both sides must run the mod, it suits a world or server where everyone installs the same build.
How it compares
Craftable Chainmail Armor covers the chainmail part of this mod alone, is published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, and is closed under All rights reserved; it can run on the client or the server, and neither side needs it. Crying Obsidian Upgrade and Crying Obsidian Expansion both add crying obsidian content for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.8, are released under the MIT License, and need both the client and the server.
