The Wools!
by WhiteYoke
The Wools! is a Forge technology mod that adds wool recipes and plant-fiber processing for players who cannot get wool from sheep.
What it does
Players who still need wool and cannot find living sheep can use the mod's crafting formulas to make it from other materials. Several tools and blocks take plant fibers from sugar cane, wheat and weeping vines and process them into wool, so the supply does not depend on sheep alone.
The mod works with materials from other mods when they share a label such as minecraft:logs or minecraft:planks, so recipes can use those items too. Files exist only for Forge 1.19.2, and the latest is 5.3.0, dated 2023-09-05 and published on the alpha channel.
Because the mod is client and server, the server and every player need it. The author notes that the project was built with MCreator, which limited what the author could build, and that other game versions can be ported by anyone who wants to try, since the source code is public under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which makes the mod open source.
Key features
Wool crafting formulas
Recipes turn other materials into wool, so wool stays available once sheep are gone from the world.
Plant fiber processing
Tools and blocks process fibers from sugar cane, wheat and weeping vines into wool.
Shared material labels
Recipes accept items that share labels such as minecraft:logs and minecraft:planks, so other mods' materials can be used.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Wool without sheep
A world where sheep are hard to find can still produce wool through the mod's recipes and processing tools.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who need a steady wool supply in survival worlds and server owners who want wool without relying on sheep. Anyone who plans to adapt the code to another game version can use the public source.
How it compares
Wool To String by TIA runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.4 – 26.2 and is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Wool to Dye is Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.4 – 1.21, and only the server needs it, while the client is optional. Wool Fixes covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is also under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, but is not open source in the same sense as The Wools!, which is a different project. The Wools! itself is Forge only, for 1.19.2.
