Suspicious Pots
Suspicious Pots makes some pots spawn small monsters when a player breaks them, and the mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it.
What it does
When a player breaks a pot, there is a chance it releases a small monster instead of dropping its contents. The monsters include silverfish, endermites and baby husks, which appear in the pot's place and draw the player's attention. The spawn chance can be changed in the config file, so a server owner can make the encounters rarer or more frequent.
The mod depends on Magma Core, which supplies shared code such as an update checker and a version checker that reports when newer files exist. Pottery, Simply Pots, Archeological and Just Enough Effect Descriptions are optional and are supported when present, so modded pots can also produce monsters. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest Fabric and Quilt builds target 1.21.1 while the latest NeoForge build targets 1.21.10.
