HUALAI
HUALAI is a Fabric game mechanics mod from AetherAndLumine that changes how the Golden Dandelion behaves in the world.
What it does
The mod makes the Golden Dandelion more useful in play, and its effect is shown with an icon on the player's status display, the Minecraft Speed effect. Server owners who want the mod on a Paper server set it up by first installing a Paper server, then locating its plugin folder and copying the mod file into it before starting the server again.
HUALAI requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin on Fabric. The author notes that the mod can also run on Paper forks such as Purpur and Leaves, and that the server and the client both need it. Files cover 1.21.11 and 26.1 – 26.2, with 1.0 for 26.2 the latest Fabric file, published 2026-06-21. The mod was first published on 2026-04-11 and is not open source; its license is custom, and public source code is available.
