SomethingUseful

by commandpig

SomethingUseful is a Forge utility mod that adds compressed heavy metal blocks, a hard survival block, a simple phone item, useful commands and coins for servers.

ForgeClient and serverAFL-3.01.18.2 – 1.19.2

What it does

The mod groups its additions around three areas. Compressor heavy metal blocks give players a dense material for building, and the hardest block is intended to be obtained in survival mode only after effort. A simple phone item and a set of useful commands round out the gameplay side, while the coins are aimed at server owners who want an economy-style currency.

SomethingUseful runs on Forge for Minecraft 1.18.2 and 1.19.2 and needs both the server and every player to have it installed, because the environment is client and server. Its files are released under the AFL-3.0 license and the project is not open source. The latest Forge file is 1.5.0 for 1.19.2, published on 2023-09-05 on the beta channel, after the first release on 2023-07-19.

Key features

  1. Compressed heavy metal blocks

    Heavy metal blocks made from compressed material serve as a sturdy base for building projects.

  2. Hard survival block

    One block is the hardest to obtain in survival mode, giving players a long-term goal.

  3. Simple phone item

    A basic phone item lets players use a small in-game communication feature.

  4. Useful commands

    A set of commands adds small conveniences for players and operators on a world or server.

  5. Server coins

    Coins can be used on servers as a simple currency for trading or rewards.
