Wordle, but not quite!
by Tucanu
Wordle, but not quite! adds a daily word puzzle block that players can open in their Minecraft world and solve one guess at a time.
What it does
Players guess a hidden word and receive letter feedback after each attempt, tracking progress across the day. Each player's daily word progress is independent of other players, so a server can host solo play as well as shared challenges. Crafting the puzzle block uses shapeless recipes built from paper, glowstone dust and a dye, so the block is ready to place once those three ingredients are collected.
The mod requires Minecraft Forge 1.20.1 as its loader and is published for 1.20 – 1.20.6 across seven release versions, with the latest Forge file, 1.2.0, targeting 1.20.6 and dated 2025-09-09. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it installed. The code is publicly available, but the mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Daily word puzzle block
A placeable block opens the word puzzle, which resets each day so players can return to a new hidden word.
Letter feedback
Each entered guess marks letters by position, showing which are correct, present or absent in the hidden word.
Independent player progress
Progress is stored per player, so each participant on a server solves the same daily puzzle at their own pace.
Shapeless crafting recipe
The puzzle block is crafted from paper, glowstone dust and a dye in any arrangement, requiring no specific layout.
