Sugar Beetroot
by Alex_yt
Sugar Beetroot lets players craft sugar from beetroots and water at a crafting table, so sugar no longer depends only on sugarcane.
What it does
The mod adds a crafting recipe that turns beetroots and water into sugar, giving players a second route to an ingredient that many recipes call for. Beetroot fields can be planted and harvested in the usual way, so a farm can supply sugar without any sugarcane.
The sugar made this way is meant for cooking and brewing. Cakes, potions and other recipes that need sugar can use it, which widens the options for farms built around beetroots. Players who play on a server running the mod use the same recipe, and the server is the only side that needs the mod installed.
The mod is built for Forge and targets 1.20.1 only, with a single file released on 2024-10-05. It is server-side only, so players join a server that runs it without installing anything, and the code is under All rights reserved, not open source.
