Dental Handbook
by StarChen
Dental Handbook adds cavities and tooth decay to Minecraft, with brushing and toothpaste as the way to prevent them.
What it does
Eating certain foods carries a chance of causing cavities, and neglected teeth can progress from decay to injury over time. Players brush their teeth to slow this down, using toothbrushes made from bristles that drop from pigs and toothpaste crafted from charcoal and flint. Brushing makes the mouth easier to hurt, so the mod asks for care in the timing of meals. Patchouli is required, and its manual documents the mod inside the game. The mod runs on client and server, so both need it, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under the MIT License, which is open source.
Key features
Cavities from food
Some foods can cause cavities, and the chance to get one depends on what the player eats.
Decay that escalates
Untreated teeth move from tooth decay to injury if the player ignores them for too long.
Crafted dental care
Bristles from pigs make toothbrushes, and charcoal with flint makes toothpaste for brushing teeth.
