Vanillaplus Ultimate
by moder0
Vanillaplus Ultimate changes drops and balance in vanilla Minecraft, with sculk-themed loot from several mobs and copper, silver and deepslate material effects.
What it does
Vanillaplus Ultimate targets the vanilla game itself rather than adding new dimensions or machines. Several sculk-area mobs have altered drop tables: a sentry can leave sculk veins and reinforced deepslate shards, a sculk zombie can leave rotten flesh with sculk veins, and a deep crawler can drop sculk veins with sculk blocks. The author describes the aim as refining what vanilla already offers.
Copper, silver and their tools trade strengths in this mod: copper is tied to speed, while silver is slower and heavier but gives more protection. Because the changes are made on the server, players join without installing anything. The mod needs Fabric API, and it is published only for Fabric, across 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 with 0.0.3-1.20.2 for 1.20.4 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Sentry drops
Sentries leave sculk veins and reinforced deepslate shards when defeated, giving the sculk biome new material sources.
Sculk zombie loot
Sculk zombies drop rotten flesh alongside sculk veins instead of the standard zombie drop set.
Deep crawler drops
Deep crawlers leave sculk veins and sculk blocks, which add building material from the deep dark.
Copper and silver tiers
Copper is associated with speed, and silver with slower movement, heavier weight and greater protection.

How it compares
Skulky is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1, released under the MIT License, that runs on client and server, and it is not open source. Kults Sculk Catalyst is a Fabric mod for 1.20.4, released under the MIT License, that also needs client and server, and it is open source. The Depths Below The Deep is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server, with Fabric and Quilt files for 1.20.1. Vanillaplus Ultimate is server-side only, so it differs from all three in where it is installed.
