A simple mod for Minecraft which adds a few things to make surviving in desert biomes a bit easier and more interesting.
Created with MCreator!
Includes:
- "Palm trees" - currently just acacia trees that grow on sand.
- Generate in desert biomes, on solid sand, near water. Somewhat rare to find in the wild.
- I may make them more custom in future, so they appear more like actual palm trees and drop coconuts or something
- "Palm sapling" - saplings for palm trees.
- Crafted with a stick and bonemeal (shapeless)
- I drew this texture by hand, so it's crap! Sorry!
- Dirt - just standard Minecraft dirt, but:
- Can be crafted by combining a sand block with a bonemeal (shapeless)
- Cactus Slice - exactly like a melon slice
- Crafted from a cactus block
- I re-coloured a melon slice texture, so it's a bit naff!
- Sandstone tools - work just like stone tools, but a bit less durable and a bit more enchantable
- Crafted the same as normal tools but with sandstone.
- Smooth Sandstone Tools - work like iron tools, but less durable and less enchantable
- Crafted the same as normal tools but with smooth sandstone.
- I was thinking of making this require chiseled sandstone because it's fancier, but I thought smooth sandstone would make more sense as it is the toughest sandstone block (all the others are equal). And you have to smelt it, so it's sort of like an ore I guess haha
