SootSpriteCraft
by Fiomol
SootSpriteCraft lets players catch, carry and place soot sprites, small shy creatures inspired by Studio Ghibli films, using glass bottles and candy.
What it does
Soot sprites are small creatures that appear in the world. They are shy: they flee when a player approaches at a sprint, and they stay put when the player sneaks, which lets a player get close without scaring them. Holding candy attracts them, and a sprite that eats a candy can make a player faster for a short time. Sprites stack on top of each other into wobbly towers when they are bored and idle, and they make high-pitched squeaks.
Candy of this kind is a colorful glowing treat. It can be found in dungeon chests or crafted from sugar and dyes. A player can fill a Soot Jar, a decorative container that carries a sprite from place to place, by using a glass bottle on the creature. Right-clicking the ground releases it again. The mod also adds automation utilities.
SootSpriteCraft is published for Forge 1.20.1 and 1.20.2 and is released as a client and server mod, so both the server and every player need it. The code is not open source; the files are All rights reserved.
