Forgery is a large collection of vanilla tweaks and small features I wanted or thought would be neat. Everything is configurable.

It is the Forge counterpart to Fabrication. (Forgery is really a disguised version of Fabrication; it's just that mod but transformed to work under Forge.)

Most things work server-side.

The config file is a classic INI for additional nostalgia and suffering.

For a description of all features in the mod including screenshots and videos, please read >> the wiki <<

Some of the things Fabrication modifies are tridents, note blocks, observers, furnace minecarts, ...

It also contains a facsimile of Apathetic Mobs and Hunger Strike.

Curse comments are impossible for me to keep track of and have been disabled.
