Husks and co. Drop Sand
by AshenAstra
Husks and co. Drop Sand is a server-side datapack that makes Husks, Parched and Camel Husks drop sand, giving a renewable source of the block.
What it does
Husks, Parched and Camel Husks each gain a loot table entry that adds sand to their drops. Ordinary husks and parched mobs drop between 0 and 2 sand, while camel husks drop between 2 and 3. The maximum amount of sand a mob can drop rises by one level for each level of the Looting enchantment, so enchanted weapons yield more.
The mod is a datapack, so it applies to any world that loads it and needs no client install. Server owners place it in the datapack folder, and players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, for game version 26.2 only. The author states that it is compatible with other datapacks they made, but may alter mob drops and should be used at the user's own risk. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Renewable sand from mobs
Husks, Parched and Camel Husks produce sand as a repeatable drop, which provides a steady supply of the block.
Looting-based sand
The maximum sand drop from these mobs increases by one level for each Looting level on the weapon.
Per-mob drop amounts
Husks and Parched drop 0 to 2 sand, while Camel Husks drop 2 to 3, so the camel variant is the richer source.

Use cases
Sand farms
Builders who need sand for glass, concrete or smelting can gather it from a husk farm instead of digging for it.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want an extra renewable sand source from desert mobs, and players who run a datapack-based survival world.
How it compares
Sand Drops is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21.2 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it is server required with the client optional. Husk Sand Drop is server-side only, published for Forge alone and limited to 1.20.1 – 1.20.3, and it is not open source. Husks Drop Sand also runs server-side only with the same loaders, covers 1.16.5 – 26.3 and is open source under the MIT License, so it has a wider version range than this mod.

What the author says
This simple datapack makes it so Husks, Parcheds, and Camel Husks drop Sand, making it a renewable resource. Husks and Parcheds drop 0-2 Sand, while Camel Husks drop 2-3 Sand. The maximum amount of Sand that can drop from these mobs also increases by 1 for each level of Looting. There's not much more to this…
