Simple Bikes
by Icedude
Simple Bikes adds three rideable bicycles to NeoForge, each craftable and each with its own movement ability.
What it does
Players craft one of three bicycles from bike wheels, metal bars, wool and a chain. The basic red bike is the all-rounder and can make a charged jump over a three-block wall. Two upgrade kits, one for the blue AcroBike and one for the green MachBike, are crafted together with a basic bike, so each upgraded variant is made from an existing bike plus its kit.
The mod is meant as an early-game transport option for players who cannot find a horse. It keeps its content minimal and only adds a few crafting items. Using a Socket Wrench while sneaking repairs a bike, and any item carrying the correct wrench tag also works for most wrench-related tasks. The tool is entirely optional.
Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with version 1.0 as the latest release, dated 2026-08-31. The code is licensed under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source.
Key features
Three bike types
Basic, AcroBike and MachBike each handle movement differently, so players pick the one that suits the terrain.
Charge-up jumping
The basic bike can hop fences with a normal jump and clear a three-block wall after charging, a mechanic inspired by Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald.
Upgrade kits
The Acro and Mach upgrade kits are combined with a basic bike to produce the other two variants.
Repair with a Socket Wrench
Sneaking while using the Socket Wrench on a bike repairs it, and items with the matching wrench tag work too.

## Simple Bikes Just a small mod that adds 3 kinds of bike, and the recipes and items to craft them.
