Summer Addition
by Team JHL
Summer Addition is a Forge and NeoForge food mod that brings summer-themed items, plants, tools and decorative content into Minecraft worlds for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1.
What it does
Wild crops such as tomato bushes and parsley grow in plains biomes, and the harvest can be used in farming to cook new dishes. Hearty tomato stew, ice lollies and ice cream cones are among the foods, grouped as a collection of seasonal treats meant for longer trips.
A dedicated Sand Shovel changes how sand is handled, so builders can shape it into sand castles and other sand structures. A summer-themed painting is included, and all of the new content sits in its own creative tab. Advancements are granted as a player crafts their first sand tools, discovers wild crops, builds sand structures or tries the summer foods, guiding them through the mod's content.
Summer Addition is client and server, so the server and every player need the mod installed. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with Forge files for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and 1.21.1 and the latest Forge build, 1.2.6, for 1.20.1. The license is the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
