by Klawiszter

ForgeClient and serverCreative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.01.20.1

What it does

Players can craft extra Red Sand from regular sand, and craft regular sand in several variants, so a biome-matched sand supply no longer depends on finding it. Unneeded concrete blocks and concrete powders can be recycled and dyed again, which lets leftover building stock return to use.

The mod targets Forge 1.20.1 only and runs on the client and the server, so both need it. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and is not open source. The latest Forge file, 1.0.0, dates from 2025-06-04 and is marked as a beta release.

Key features

  1. Red Sand crafting

    Extra Red Sand can be crafted from regular sand, adding a second source for the block.

  2. Sand variants

    Regular sand can be crafted into several variants, so sand types are not limited to what generates naturally.

  3. Concrete recycling

    Unneeded concrete blocks and concrete powders can be broken down and dyed again.

  4. Recipe gallery

    The remaining recipes are collected in a gallery, listing what the mod crafts and converts.

Use cases

Building with sand

Builders who need more red sand or sand variants than natural generation provides can craft them directly.

Reusing concrete

Players with spare concrete or concrete powder can recycle it into dyed concrete instead of discarding it.

Who it’s for: Players who build with sand, red sand and concrete on Forge 1.20.1, and server owners who want those materials available without changing biomes.
