Husks Drop Sand
With Husks Drop Sand, husks killed in the overworld leave sand behind, and the amount can be tuned on a server.
What it does
Husks drop sand when they die, with a configurable chance for each death. Since husks spawn in deserts, the drop gives a simple way to collect sand from mobs rather than clearing whole deserts, which suits balanced overworld sand farms. Deimos is required on every loader, and the mod is open source under the MIT License. Only the server needs it, so players join without installing anything. Files cover 1.16.5 – 26.3 across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
Key features
Sand drops from husks
Each husk that dies can leave sand blocks behind, so sand comes from mob kills.
Adjustable drop chance
The chance that a husk drops sand is set in the config, letting server owners tune the rate.
Minimum and maximum rolls
