About this project
What does Modern Content Backport add?
Modern Content Backport is a backport mod focused on bringing selected mobs, weapons, mounts, mechanics, and gameplay changes from newer versions of Minecraft back to 1.20.1.
The goal is not just to recreate how newer content looks. Wherever possible, the mod tries to preserve the original vanilla behavior as closely as the 1.20.1 engine allows — including spawning rules, AI, animations, combat calculations, equipment, jockey behavior, advancements, interactions, sounds, and also future bug fixed mechanic.

1.20.3- Decorated Pots make over(item insert and 64 stack amount)
