Shards Mod is a lightweight mod that adds a simple but useful mechanic: breaking glass without Silk Touch now drops Glass Shards. This makes breaking glass less punishing and adds a small gameplay loop.
Features:
- Breaking glass without Silk Touch drops Glass Shards
- Shards can be recrafted into full glass blocks
- Supports dyed glass through crafting
- Adds a bit of realism and utility to glass usage
