Update Depression
Update Depression is a Fabric and Quilt helper for update suppression, a server-side tool that lets server owners place and control suppression blocks from commands.
What it does
Update Depression adds commands for placing CCE boxes and noise suppressors, and it reintroduces update suppression behaviors that were patched out in later versions. Options allow suppression bugs from 1.20.2 to return and let invalid block entities be allowed on 1.21.1, so the mod is aimed at people studying how update suppression works rather than at general gameplay.
The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. Fabric API is required, and BetterConfig is bundled inside the mod. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across seven release versions, 1.19.4 – 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
The author notes that the mod is useful for technical Minecraft work and warns that people who do not know what they are doing probably should not use it. Planned features are listed in the author text but are not described here.
Key features
Suppression placement commands
Commands place CCE boxes and noise suppressors at a chosen location, so server owners can set up suppression tests directly.
Reintroduced suppression behavior
Options bring back update suppression bugs that were patched out, which is the main reason the mod exists.
Invalid block entity option
An option on 1.21.1 allows invalid block entities, changing how the server handles block entities that would otherwise be rejected.
Bundled configuration library
BetterConfig is included in the mod, so its configuration support arrives with the mod itself.

Use cases
Technical testing
Developers and technical players can recreate older update suppression conditions on a server to study how they behave.
Who it’s for: Server owners and developers who work with update suppression and understand the risks of the reintroduced behaviors. The author text warns that people who do not know what the options do should avoid using them.
How it compares
Carpet Takeneko Addition is also server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.16.5 – 1.21.1 and targets a wider set of server features. Suppressed is a Fabric mod for 26.1.1 – 26.2 that runs on the client and server, licensed under the MIT License, so it covers a different version range and requires both sides.
