Tanaka's Pebbles
by tanaka_san
Tanaka's Pebbles puts loose pebbles into the world generator, along with throwing, crafting and renaming behavior for them on NeoForge 1.21.1.
What it does
Pebbles appear as small decorative scatter across the world, and the world generation is written to work with modded biomes. Pebbles can be thrown, and dispensers also throw them. Four pebbles craft into one cobblestone, and one cobblestone turns back into four pebbles, so the two stay linked for building and mining.
Pebbles can be crushed or milled to yield flint, with a 50% chance, and copper nuggets, with a 2% chance. Renaming works through an anvil: a piece of paper and a pebble combine into a pebble with a note, which can then be named. A config option toggles whether thrown pebbles break glass. The mod is for NeoForge only, with its one file built for 1.21.1, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.
