Critical Shears

by Jack-Papel

Critical Shears changes sheep shearing so that a critical hit gives three wool instead of one to three.

What it does

When a player shears a sheep with a critical hit, the drop is fixed at three wool rather than a random amount from one to three. The change applies only to critical shearing; ordinary shearing keeps the vanilla drop range. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and only the server needs the mod. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt across nine game versions, 1.16.4 – 1.20.1, with 1.0.4 for 1.20.1 as the latest file.

Key features

  1. Fixed wool on critical shears

    A critical-hit shear on a sheep always yields three wool instead of a random one to three.

  2. Unchanged ordinary shearing

    Shearing without a critical hit uses the normal vanilla wool drop range.

  3. Server-side operation

    Only the server needs the mod, so players connecting to it do not have to install anything.

What the author says

I was shearing my sheep one day, and thought it would go much faster if I could critically shear them. So, I made this mod. Whenever you shear a sheep with a critical hit, it is guaranteed to drop three wool instead of 1-3. The server I was playing on wasn't actually a modded server though, so I don't really get to…
