Rei's Expansion
by ReiSoft
Rei's Expansion is a Forge food and decoration mod for 1.20.1 that adds copper armor, tools, deepslate tool variants, blocks, food and small urban details.
What it does
Rei's Expansion adds a set of armor and tools made from copper, with deepslate variants of tools alongside them. Its blocks include tiles and small urban details, and the food side adds dishes such as fried eggs and simple bent shapes, drawing on everyday life in Japan during the 1990s.
Crafting is made a bit more detailed: several items are made as intermediate parts before the final block is assembled, so a build takes more steps than a single recipe. The mod has no need for a server install, since only the client runs it, and players of any server can keep it on their own side. Files are published for Forge and 1.20.1 only, with the latest file at 0.1.4 from 2026-02-20. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. A public wiki is available for the mod.

How it compares
Platinum is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 that runs on client and server and is open source under the MIT License, so its code can be read and reused. Kyo's Fried Eggs is also Forge for 1.20.1 with client and server environment, but is All rights reserved and not open source, which makes it the closer match for fried egg foods. Rei's Expansion is client-side only and All rights reserved, so it needs nothing on the server.
