by grigorjev.y2016

Ricardo and the Gold Miners changes how piglins, spiders, creepers and pillagers behave, and how gold and gunpowder are obtained, on Fabric for 1.20.1.

What it does

Piglins in the Nether can take gold from the ground and from a player's inventory, including gold armor being worn. Spiders shoot webs, and cave spiders inflict a venom effect that lasts a full in-game day and can be cured with an antidote. Creepers explode instantly when a player gets too close, and pillagers hit harder. Gunpowder has to be crafted from new ores, sulfur and sulfite, and gold can be mined in the overworld. A Ricardo Golem is added as a companion mob. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. Installation requires Fabric API. The single file is version 1.3 for 1.20.1, released 2026-02-18, and the code is all rights reserved, not open source.

Ever thought gold was safe in the Nether? Think again. Piglins now steal gold — from the ground, your inventory, and even strip it off you if you're wearing gold armor. They also mine gold now.
