HauntedSands StationAPI
by Telvarost
HauntedSands StationAPI adds new sand types, graves and death chests to Minecraft Beta, and the lost souls it generates drop locked chests when killed.
What it does
The mod extends the beta world with sand variants, graves that can be built from soul sand or a vanilla slab, and chests that hold a player's items after death. Gunpowder cubes generate in rare pockets inside caves across the overworld, between Y levels 4 and 52, with up to 23 cubes per pocket. Lost soul mobs are added as a new entity, and vanilla locked chests drop from them when they are killed.
Each feature can be toggled in the mod config menu, and crafting recipes for the sands and cubes can be switched on or off as well. When enabled, a sand or cube can be crafted from four matching items in a square and de-crafted back into those items. Graves are disabled by default. Multiplayer is supported when GlassConfigAPI 3.0 or later is installed to sync configuration. HauntedSands StationAPI requires StationAPI and ZastavkaAPI, and Mod Menu is optional. Builds exist for b1.7.3 only, on Fabric and Babric, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source.
