Crooked Crooks

by Ennui

Crooked Crooks adds crooks, a family of tools in the style of the classic Ex Nihilo crook, which multiply the drops of the blocks they are used on.

What it does

Crooks are tools that act on blocks and mobs. Used on leaves and grass they multiply the drops, and a crook can also pull sheep into a herd. The wooden crook is crafted from four sticks at a crafting table, and stone, bone and iron crooks follow the same template with cobblestone, bones and iron ingots.

Which blocks a crook may break is set by the block tag crooked crooks:mineable, and which blocks it multiplies is set by the data map entry or the block tag crooked crooks:multiplies drops. On Fabric the tag multiplies drops by 3 by default, while on NeoForge a custom multiplier can be set. A configuration system lets server owners adjust these rules, and the mod runs on client and server.

Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric and Quilt. The mod is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt across 10 release versions, 1.17 – 1.21.5, and is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved, while its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Multiplying crooks

    Crooks multiply the drops of leaves and grass when used on them, in the manner of the classic Ex Nihilo crook.

  2. Herding sheep

    A crook can pull sheep and other mobs toward the player, which lets them be herded.

  3. Crook tiers

    Wooden, stone, bone and iron crooks share one recipe pattern, so each tier is crafted from its own material.

  4. Configurable drops

    Drop multipliers are set through the crooked crooks:multiplies drops tag or data map, and NeoForge allows a custom multiplier.
