the candy mod
Candy Tools adds a set of candy-themed tools, armor and food to NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.4, all crafted from a new material called Sugar Drops.
What it does
Sugar Drops are a new crafting material introduced by the mod. They combine with sticks, wood and other vanilla materials in a special recipe, and the crafted tools and weapons carry a candy theme. Cotton candy is gathered and used in its own crafting recipe, which the mod also adds to the game.
The tool set includes a pickaxe, an axe, a shovel and a sword, along with armor and food pieces. The sword is made of pure sugar and is meant for defending against hostile mobs. The mod notes that the tools come with a durability bonus, and that swinging them leaves a trail of sugar behind. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players join without installing it.
