Sugar Expansions
by Xenon54_
Sugar Expansions adds new sugar sources and sweet foods to NeoForge 1.21.1, from beetroot sugar to glazed donuts and extra-sweet cookies.
What it does
Players who run short of sugar cane can smelt beetroots in a furnace or smoker to extract Beetroot Sugar. The mod adds this as an alternative source, so sweet recipes do not depend on one crop. The new sugar then feeds a short chain of bakery items made at a crafting table.
Sweet Dough is mixed from the new ingredients and baked into a plain donut. A baked donut can be combined with Pink Frosting at the crafting table to produce Glazed Donuts. The mod also adds Sweet Cookies, an extra-sugar variant that keeps the hunger bar full over long trips. No required dependency is listed for NeoForge.
Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, and the code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
