Pocket Sand!
by MoltenCore
Pocket Sand! adds a throwable Pile Sand item and a crafted Sand block for Forge, so sand becomes a renewable resource.
What it does
Husks drop zero to two piles of sand when they are defeated, which gives players a source of sand that does not run out. Four piles arranged in a square on the crafting grid produce one block of sand. Thrown piles strike enemies and inflict Blindness for three seconds. The mod is published for Forge across seven release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21, and both the server and every player need it, under the MIT License, though it is not open source.
