Sandy Husks

by MOFx

Sandy Husks makes husks drop sand when killed, with the amount rising under the Looting enchantment, for players who build in survival or Skyblock worlds.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.21 – 1.21.11

What it does

Each husk killed can drop sand, and the Looting enchantment raises the maximum amount per kill. In the drop tables, a husk with no Looting has an even split of 0, 1 or 2 sand, while higher Looting levels shift the odds toward more sand. Players who spend hours gathering sand by hand can turn combat into a steady source instead.

The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, and players may add it, but clients can also join without it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.11 (12 release versions). The latest file for every loader is 1.0.0+mod for 1.21.11, dated 2025-10-24, and the code is All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source. A Data pack build is also listed as a server platform.

Key features

  1. Sand from husk kills

    Husks killed by players drop sand, giving a personal sand source during survival or Skyblock play.

  2. Looting increases yield

    The Looting enchantment raises the maximum sand per kill, so enchanted weapons pay off in sand as well as experience.

  3. Drop odds by Looting level

    Each Looting level changes the chance of 0, 1 or 2 sand, with the average sand per kill rising as the level goes up.

  4. Faster large builds

    Gathering sand from husks cuts the time spent on sand collection for large building projects in Skyblock.
