The Vanilla Expansion

by winkeyface14

The Vanilla Expansion fills a few gaps in vanilla Minecraft with extra items and blocks, plus some quirky mechanics, and it requires Fabric API.

FabricForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.3 – 26.3

What it does

Coal, charcoal and a coal chunk are added as fuel and cooking material, and the chunks are used to cook one item at a time in furnaces, blast furnaces and smokers. The mod also includes an armor set that matches the armor values of normal leather while giving it a bit more durability, and it adds a little toughness to diamond armor.

Fabric API must be installed next to the mod on Fabric. The Forge build is a separate file that runs without it. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across five release versions, 1.16.3 – 26.3, under the MIT License, and the source code is public on GitHub.

Side Note: I am a solo developer new to Minecraft modding. I can only work on this mod outside of my job so development will be slow. Also... this is my first mod so please bear with me.:) NOTE: This mod is not an update or fork of any similarly named mods. If there's a problem about this, please contact me. Thank you!
