Name: Harsh Desert│嚴酷的沙漠
Author: Special_TT

Harsh Desert makes sand, red sand and gravel slow most mobs that walk across them, with an extra slowdown for horses and their relatives.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.2 – 1.21.11

What it does

Most mobs move 25% slower on sand, red sand and gravel, while camels and husks are exempt. Equine mobs lose another 15% of their movement speed on the same blocks. Because the slowdown is applied on the server, the server is the side that needs the mod, and players can join without installing it. TT's Lib is required, and the mod is open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.2 – 1.21.11.

Key features

Slower mobs on desert blocks
Most mobs lose 25% of their movement speed while walking on sand, red sand or gravel.
Extra slowdown for horses
Equine mobs move another 15% slower on those blocks, on top of the general penalty.
Camels and husks are exempt
Camels and husks keep their normal speed on desert blocks, so desert travel still suits them.
