The Motherland
by PolyChroms
The Motherland is a NeoForge cursed mod that brings a joking, not-so-serious take on 1970s Soviet life into Minecraft 1.21.8.
What it does
Its content draws on Soviet history and culture: classic gear, iconic music played through custom discs, and new NPCs that give a village some life. The tone is deliberately tongue in cheek, so the mod reads as a satirical set of additions rather than a historical simulation.
Food and drink items include a bottle of vodka for a break. A joke dimension is built from blocks themed on the motherland and can be lit with a special lighter. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. Files target 1.21.8 only, on NeoForge, in the alpha channel.
