Strange Needles
by Jack_7022
Strange Needles is a Forge and NeoForge library mod that adds syringe-style needles, each giving a different effect when used on mobs or players.
What it does
Strange Needles adds tweaking syringe needles to the game. Each needle is used on a mob or a player and applies its own effect. Some needles only affect mobs, others are meant for players, and a few can be crafted at a science table placed near the needle recipes. Villagers can also trade for strange needles once they have been set up as a trading source.
The mod has a recipe gallery for the crafted needles. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with the Forge build covering 1.20.1 and the NeoForge build covering 26.1.2. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
