Forgery

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.)

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