SPiNDLE
by jisk
SPiNDLE brings rusty copper content to Minecraft through copper mobs and spawning tools, aimed at players who want the Copper Age to feel more worn.
What it does
SPiNDLE adds copper-themed mobs, including a Copper Horse, a Copper Frog, a Copper Wolf and a Copper Cat, so the copper life of the overworld feels fuller. The mobs are the central part of the mod, and their look and behavior follow the rusty copper theme of the Copper Age.
Server owners and map makers can spawn the mobs and items through standard commands: loot give can hand out SPiNDLE items, and the summon function can place the mobs. A Copper Horse can also be summoned as part of a specific structure, so a build can include one by design.
SPiNDLE runs on the server, and clients need nothing extra because the client side is optional. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across six release versions, 1.21.9 – 26.2, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is not open source. It can also be used as a data pack on server platforms.
Key features
Copper overworld mobs
Copper Horse, Copper Frog, Copper Wolf and Copper Cat populate the overworld as copper-themed creatures.
Command-based spawning
Items and mobs can be given or summoned with loot give and the summon function, which suits adventure maps and servers.
Structure placement
A Copper Horse can be summoned as part of a specific building structure, letting builders include it in their own designs.
Rusty copper theme
Content is built around the rust and wear of copper, filling a gap the author describes in the Copper Age.

How it compares
Copper Horse Armour Recipe is also server-side optional for clients and is released under the MIT License, but it covers 1.21.9 – 26.3 and adds armour rather than mobs. Purpose of Copper is server-side optional for clients too, with the MIT License, and targets 1.17 – 1.21.8, so it does not reach the 26.x builds SPiNDLE supports. Copper Golem Hats is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.6 – 26.3, while SPiNDLE is not open source.

What the author says
Have you ever felt like Minecraft was lacking some good old rusty copper content? Is the content of the Copper Age drop just not RUSTY enough for you?? Well... uhh you could be in luck. Am not sure, though. The Copper Horse is summoned building a specific structure, check the Gallery for that.
