About this Mod

heya, this is a backport of Just dire things, one of my favorite mods, alot of people wanted it
to be on forge 1.20.1, so i decided to take things into my own hands (because i also really wanted it lol)
and make a backport myself, im not the best at coding but i fixed all the bugs i could find. Also this isnt
fully up to date with the mods features so things like the time wand dont exist yet... sorry :p (use tiab ig)
Anyway i probably wont be updating this so yall have a good day.

Description from the original mod

Just Dire Things started as a collection of random items and blocks I wanted added to the game. Then things kind of got away from me…..

This mod adds:

4 Tiers of Resources, requiring exploration of the different Minecraft Dimensions to unlock.

4 Tiers of Tools, each with unique abilities, some never before seen!

4 Tiers of Armor, each with their own set of Unique Abilities!

Many blocks designed around automation. Including:

Block Breakers/Placers

Sensors

Teleporters

Energy Generator and distribution blocks.

A lot more is planned for the future, this is simply the first draft!

Mod Spotlights:
was lowkey too lazy to put them here so go to the original page found here
