Spud Mod
by lodington
Spud Mod brings a potato-themed progression system to NeoForge, with spud items, tools, riding pets and crafting chains that depend on Ars Nouveau, Create and The Aether.
What it does
Spud Mod is a feet-themed addon for The Aether that adds Spuds, grippers and related items. Each tier of its progression system opens new recipes and capabilities, and tameable rats, custom fluids and crafting chains connect the content. Toe Jam is made through Create crushing wheels, and Ars Nouveau provides the magic side. Recipes load only when their respective mod is present, so the pack works without every dependency.
Gripper Feet give the player speed, jump boost and wall climbing, letting a character walk straight up a wall like a spider. Eating a Spud quickly grants these effects, and a fed Spud heals. A tamed Spud follows fights, can be ridden with its head invulnerable, and sniffs out nearby Chudington Ore marks with particles. Speed and Jump Boost scale with level.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It targets NeoForge only, with builds for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11. The current NeoForge file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-06-12, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It was built for NeoForge 1.21.1 and suits large modpacks of 200+ mods.
