golden dandelion backport
by nugrevan
Golden dandelion backport brings the golden dandelion from newer releases to 1.21.11 through a crafting recipe and a baby-mob lock.
What it does
Golden dandelions are crafted from a dandelion surrounded by 8 gold nuggets, and right-clicking a baby mob with one locks that mob's age so it stays a baby. A second right-click on the locked baby restarts its aging. The mod is server required and client optional, so the server must run it while players may leave it out. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for 1.21.11 only, and the mod is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
