The Dawn Era (DISCONTINUED)

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. File opened and checked on 21 Sep 2026; downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.20.1–1.20.6Newest
Minecraft 1.20

⬇ Download for 1.20.1–1.20.6 ⬇ Download for 1.20

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
