Technology in the World's Magnets
Technology in the World's Magnets lets players pull iron nuggets and gravel out of blocks with a magnet, and it is built for the Fabric loader on 1.20.1 and 1.20.2.
What it does
A player right-clicks and holds down the mouse button while aiming at a magnet gravel block, and nuggets are drawn out of it over time. How long the pull lasts depends on the tier of the magnet being used, so stronger magnets gather more per use. Magnetite, a new item, is only used in crafting recipes at this stage, and the magnet itself is made with a dedicated recipe.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. It requires Fabric API, and it is published for Fabric only, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2. The author holds all rights, so the code is not open source and the mod is not licensed for redistribution.
Key features
Magnet gravel harvesting
Magnet gravel blocks release iron nuggets when a player holds right-click on them with a magnet.
Tiered magnets
The length of the pull depends on the magnet tier, so a better magnet yields more nuggets in a single session.
Magnetite crafting item
A new item called Magnetite is added as a crafting ingredient for the magnet recipes.
Magnet recipes
Magnets are assembled through dedicated crafting recipes that take Magnetite as a component.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Players building a Technology-focused world or modpack on Fabric 1.20.1 or 1.20.2 who want magnet-based resource gathering. The mod adds a small set of items and recipes rather than a full technology tree.
