Dunes&Drought
by Jaiz
Dunes&Drought changes the desert biome of a Fabric world by adding new exploration sites and survival features to it.
What it does
The mod reworks desert exploration by generating new sites such as fossil pits, oasis outposts and trading posts across the biome. Ten new tools, three goat horns, a music disc and new villager trades add a reason to travel there. Dunes&Drought is open source under the MIT License, is published for Fabric only, and covers the 1.20.4 – 1.21.1 range, with 1.3.7-1.21.1 as the latest file for 1.21.1. Client and server both need the mod.
