Aloof!
Aloof! introduces a loofah crop that Sniffers can dig up, along with a loofah sponge made from its gourds.
What it does
The crop is grown from seeds that a Sniffer digs up. A planted seed needs two blocks of space above it to grow. Once mature it becomes a two-tall loofah gourd, a brightly green block with stripes. Striping a gourd with an axe turns it into a loofah sponge, which works like a sponge but is weaker.
Aloof! is a small mod with modest additions, ported from an older version and built around the Sniffer. Its features are minor and self-contained, and the mod does not change the wider game. Farmer's Delight is named by the author as a related mod.
The mod runs on NeoForge for 1.21.1 only. The client and server both need it, so every player on a server running it must install it too. It is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and its source code is public, so the mod is open source.
