The Choppa Age Update
by CragDyna
The Choppa Age Update, a NeoForge add-on for 1.21.1, brings a Choppa Golem boss, Choppa Chests, cleavers and a wasteland biome to the game.
What it does
The update adds a boss fight built around the Choppa Golem, a chopper-themed golem placed in its own boss arena. Defeating it drops loot from Choppa Chests, and the arena is a self-contained encounter rather than a structure that generates in the open world. New weapons include cleavers, alongside copper nuggets and copper chests that expand the metal options for crafting.
A new biome called wastelands is added to world generation and is meant to be extremely common, so players will meet it often while exploring. Abandoned buildings and Craig's Diner appear as landmarks within this terrain. The update also includes helicopter hats as cosmetic headwear.
The mod requires Geckolib, which must be installed on the same NeoForge setup. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Files are published for NeoForge only, under All rights reserved, and the mod is not open source.

Use cases
Boss encounters on a server
Server owners who want a challenge can add the Choppa Golem fight to a world where every player runs the mod.
Who it’s for: Players who want a themed boss fight, new weapons and a common new biome in a NeoForge 1.21.1 world. Server owners should install it on the server and on every client that joins.
How it compares
Villager BOSS MOD is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 with the same client and server environment, also under All rights reserved and not open source. CharredNM targets 1.21.8 on NeoForge and is likewise client and server under All rights reserved. Copper Golem Hats is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.6 – 26.3, but its environment is server required with an optional client, so it differs from the Choppa Age Update in both loaders and where it must be installed.
