The OP Cheese
The OP Cheese mod adds cheese-themed ores, armor, weapons, tools, a gun, a rat mob and a structure to survival worlds on Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
Cheese Ore is a new mineral that is mined and smelted into Cheese Ingots, which serve as the base material for the cheese equipment. Mining it with a Fortune-enchanted tool yields extra drops, which increases the amount of resources gathered per block.
Crafted from the ingots are a Cheese Armor set, a Cheese Sword and a Cheese Multitool that combines the pickaxe, axe and shovel functions in one item. A Fast-Firing Cheese Gun shoots cheese arrows, and a Rat Mob adds a new creature with a boss fight. A cheese-themed structure with a loot chest can be found while exploring.
The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge only. Players and server owners need it on both sides, since the environment is client and server, and files are published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

How it compares
ProjectCheese is NeoForge only, with files for 1.21.4 – 1.21.6, and is not open source. The Cheese Realm is NeoForge only, covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.3 and is released under the MIT License. Rats and Traps is Forge only, built for 1.20.1 and released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license.
