Scraps and Shards

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.18–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

by Lothrazar · on CurseForge

Scrap junk piles in worldgen, bone shards, flint shards, for early game crafting and recycling, and a custom data tag for loot tables

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · NeoForge⬇ Download for 1.20.1 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.19.4 · Forge⬇ Download for 1.18.2 · Forge
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.

This mod adds

4 Scrap pile types for worldgen: brush, trash, remains, metal.  These cannot be crafted but generate in the world naturally. (modpack devs: control with configs and data pack configured features)

7 Shard items: Bone Shard, Brick Shard, Flint Shard, Leather Shard, Paper Shard, Wooden Shard, Glass Shard

1 Garbage block - used to merge items together to recycle into other shards

1 Junk item - does nothing by itself, craft into garbage and check all the extra recipes added using JEI

Worldgen

Each of the four scrap piles generate in the world in different y-levels.  There are registered configured features, as well as a scraps.toml config with some worldgen controls

Example config

Custom scraps:mineable data tag to allow scrap piles to harvest the good items, also see the loot_tables

 
Recipes can be edited with data packs as usual

If you harvest correctly such as with a shovel you get better randomized loot

For example, actual bones instead of broken bone shards

- data tag for items is scraps:mineable , also see loot_tables

- If you harvest with an empty hand or break it any other way, you get randomized loot such as broken leather shards, broken bone shards, flint shards, etc

if you harvest without the right tool (default is some shovels - see data tags) then you get 'broken drops' such as bone scraps instead of the full bone

 OPTIONAL feature to make the scrap piles Break when you Touch them

Optional feature

in the config file you can turn on the config to make them break as soon as the player touches or steps on them. its off by default
