Edible Crayons
by UberHelixx
Edible Crayons adds crayons that can be eaten, with seven colors that each give the player a different effect.
What it does
Each crayon in the set is a food item that a player can eat. The seven colors are the core of the mod: every color gives a different effect when eaten, so the choice of color decides what the player gets. Crayons are added as an item for the Food category and work in both survival and creative worlds.
The mod runs on the Forge loader and is published for 1.16.5 and 1.20.1, with 2.0.0 as the latest file for 1.20.1, released on 2025-05-21. Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license and is not open source, so it cannot be redistributed in modified form.
