Sweet Calamity
by Valent
Sweet Calamity takes players into the Sweetlands, a new dimension built entirely from candy and sugar, reached through a portal opened in the mod's quest line.
What it does
Access to the Sweetlands dimension depends on finding a Chef, who appears in the story. A hermit villager living in cherry forests trades a recipe book with complete recipes, and the portal to the dimension is opened after that. The dimension itself is made of candy and sugar, and its bright colors can be misleading, so players are advised to explore carefully.
Witches are part of the adventure, and the mod is aimed at players who want a themed exploration experience on Forge. Sweet Calamity is distributed for Forge 1.20.1 only, with the latest file 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 published on 2025-04-19. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. The mod is an experimental version, and the author plans to expand it into something much larger later. The code is not open source; the license is All rights reserved.
