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.

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.

Bugs Notice

This mod currently has some bugs (with sandworms not despawning), since it was mainly made for a Youtube video.

Please don't use the mod for a world that doesn't have commands enabled, since you may need to use the following commands to clean up an old sandworm entity if it didn't despawn properly:

/kill @e[type=entersandworm:soulsandworm]
/kill @e[type=entersandworm:soulsandwormbody]
/kill @e[type=entersandworm:soulsandwormhead]

Information

this is a fabric mod for 1.21/1.21.1 that adds sandworms to Minecraft, inspired by Dune. they can be enabled for soul sand valleys in the nether and/or deserts in the overworld through the config. soul sandworms are spawned in when a player breaks a soul sand block (in a soul sand valley) or sand block (in a desert) twice in under 90 seconds.

the mod can be used on neoforge or forge using sinytra connector.

Gameplay Details below:

a sandworm is extremely powerful and able to "eat" and kill you instantly if you collide with its head. the best method to kill them is to use explosives to blow up their head. upon death, they will drop a tooth item which can be used alongside a netherite ingot and a stick to craft a Crysknife: a sword more powerful than a netherite sword.

Dependencies

Cloth Config API (Required)

Mod Menu (Optional, but recommended for easier config access)

Config

The mod has a serverside config to change whether sandworms spawn in soul sand valleys, sandworms spawn in deserts, their health, the damage their "bite" does, and the damage colliding with their body does.
